When the Covid-19 pandemic strikes, the eccentric villagers are utterly mortified. It’s karma, obviously! What on earth have they done to deserve this deeply personal insult? How will they ever hold their heads high in Gampaha and Warakapola again now that they are the \"chosen ones\" of humiliation? In this sharply witty and darkly comic novel, the lines between hero and villain are delightfully smudged. Love arrives in the strangest disguises, local politics get uncomfortably personal, and redemption is nothing more than a stubborn rumor—with Karma herself taking center stage as the true leading lady.
