Sri Lanka, 1981. Sextonåriga Sashi har en dröm - hon vill bli läkare. Men drömmen slås i spillror när ett blodigt inbördeskrig bryter ut på ön. Under de kommande decennierna ser Sashi hur hennes älskade bröder och vännen K dras in i den militanta befrielserörelsen Tamilska tigrarna.
Våldet tilltar, civilbefolkningens lidande ökar och till slut blir även Sashi tvungen att välja sida. Ett val som innebär att hon ställs mot det som hon trodde var rätt, och den som en gång var vän är numera fiende.
Nätter utan mina bröder är en hjärtskärande skildring som visar hur kriget sargar människors liv, även inom en och samma familj. År 2024 tilldelades V. V. Ganeshananthan det prestigefyllda Women’s Prize for Fiction för romanen.

New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice • A courageous young Sri Lankan woman tries to protect her dream of becoming a doctor in this “heartbreaking exploration of a family fractured by civil war” (Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half).“This book, a careful, vivid exploration of what’s lost within a community when life and thought collapse toward binary conflict, rang softly for me as a novel for our own country in this odd time.”—Nathan Heller, The New Yorker AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • WINNER OF THE CAROL SHIELDS PRIZE FOR FICTION • WINNER OF THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION • FINALIST FOR THE MINNESOTA BOOK AWARD • LONGLISTED FOR THE ASIAN PRIZE FOR FICTION Jaffna, 1981. Sixteen-year-old Sashi wants to become a doctor. But over the next decade, a vicious civil war tears through her home, and her dream spins off course as she sees her four beloved brothers and their friend K swept up in the mounting violence. Desperate to act, Sashi accepts K’s invitation to work as a medic at a field hospital for the militant Tamil Tigers, who, following years of state discrimination and violence, are fighting for a separate homeland for Sri Lanka’s Tamil minority. But after the Tigers murder one of her teachers and Indian peacekeepers arrive only to commit further atrocities, Sashi begins to question where she stands. When one of her medical school professors, a Tamil feminist and dissident, invites her to join a secret project documenting human rights violations, she embarks on a dangerous path that will change her forever.Set during the early years of Sri Lanka’s three-decade civil war, Brotherless Night is a heartrending portrait of one woman’s moral journey and a testament to both the enduring impact of war and the bonds of home.

In this globe-scattered Sri Lankan family, we speak of only two kinds of marriage. The first is the Arranged Marriage. The second is the Love Marriage. In reality, there is a whole spectrum in between, but most of us spend years running away from the first toward the second. [p. 3]The daughter of Sri Lankan immigrants who left their collapsing country and married in America, Yalini finds herself caught between the traditions of her ancestors and the lure of her own modern world. But when she is summoned to Toronto to help care for her dying uncle, Kumaran, a former member of the militant Tamil Tigers, Yalini is forced to see that violence is not a relic of the Sri Lankan past, but very much a part of her Western present.While Kumaran’s loved ones gather around him to say goodbye, Yalini traces her family’s roots–and the conflicts facing them as ethnic Tamils–through a series of marriages. Now, as Kumaran’s death and his daughter’s politically motivated nuptials edge closer, Yalini must decide where she stands. Lyrical and innovative, V. V. Ganeshananthan’s novel brilliantly unfolds how generations of struggle both form and fractures families. Praise for Love Marriage“A beautiful first novel. This intricately woven tale, with its universal themes of love and estrangement, presents an exciting new voice in American literature.” –Yiyun Li, author of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers“Complex and moving . . . an impressive debut.”–Daniel Alarcón, author of Lost City Radio “V. V. Ganeshananthan has given us a riveting picture of the intersections of love and war that shape us all. A debut of incredible passion and wisdom.” –Rebecca Johns, author of Icebergs“At its best and simplest, Ganeshananthan can be profoundly moving. She captures the pain of exile poignantly.” --The San Francisco Chronicle“Ganeshananthan has created a slow-burning and beautifully written debut in Love Marriage. It is an evocative examination of Sri Lankan cultural mores, and the way one family is affected by love and war” — The Financial Times“Poignant and authentic…. Insight gained into Toronto''s Tamil community is a welcome bonus in this gem of a book by a young writer who is sure to present more thought-provoking, entertaining prose in the future.” --The Toronto Star“The book is at times witty and always beautifully written” — The Irish Times"Innovative….this is an ambitious family drama about an underreported part of the world, filled with well-shaded characters [and] gorgeous flourish…Buy it." -- New York Magazine"As if she were stringing a necklace of bright beads, the author relates the stories of Yalini''s Sri Lankan forebears in lapidary folkloric narratives…What she does here, she does quite affectingly." -- The Boston Globe "In spare, lyrical prose, V.V. Ganeshananthan''s debut novel tells the story of two Sri Lankan Tamil families over four generations who, despite civil war and displacement, are irrevocably joined by marriage and tradition….Powerful." -- Ms. MagazineFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

»Ein brillanter, tief bewegender Roman über eine Welt in Aufruhr.« Celeste Ng Die junge Tamilin Sashi hat nur einen Wunsch: Sie will Ärztin werden. Wie ihr Großvater und ihr geliebter ältester Bruder. Und wie K, ein Junge aus der Nachbarschaft, mit dem sie eine besondere Freundschaft verbindet. Doch dann versinkt das Land im Bürgerkrieg, und Sashi ist gezwungen, um ihre Träume und Hoffnungen zu kämpfen, während die Welt um sie herum zerbricht. Mit großer erzählerischer Kraft zeichnet V. V. Ganeshananthan das Porträt einer jungen Frau, die zwischen Ideologie und Menschlichkeit, zwischen Heimat und Exil einen eigenen Weg sucht.Sashi bereitet sich gerade auf die Zulassungsprüfungen für ihr Medizinstudium vor, als in Sri Lanka der Bürgerkrieg ausbricht. Über Nacht gerät ihr Leben aus den Fugen. Sashi muss mitansehen, wie ihre Familie in den Strudel der Gewalt gerät. Zwei ihrer Brüder schließen sich den Tamil Tigers an – ebenso wie K, ein stiller junger Mann, den sie seit ihrer Kindheit kennt und zu dem sie eine tiefe Verbindung spürt. Während er zur Waffe greift, entscheidet Sashi sich für einen anderen Weg: Sie zeigt ihren Widerstand als Ärztin. Doch der Preis für ihren Einsatz ist hoch, und am Ende ist Sashi gezwungen, in New York ein neues Leben zu beginnen. Ihre Vergangenheit holt sie aber auch dort unausweichlich wieder ein.Ein mitreißender Roman, der uns mit bestechender Klarheit den Wert eines jeden Menschenlebens vor Augen führt.»Ein spektakulärer Roman vor dem Hintergrund historischer Ereignisse: gründlich recherchiert, voller Empörung und Mitgefühl.« THE GUARDIAN »Ganeshananthan ist eine grandiose Schriftstellerin. Ihr Schreiben zeugt von immenser Aufmerksamkeit gegenüber den Nuancen der Geschichte, die sie erzählt.« THE TIMES»Ganeshananthan gelingt ein großer Roman vor dem Hintergrund eines Krieges. Sie erzählt von Jahren des Wachstums, entscheidenden Ereignissen und untermauert ihre Geschichte mit umfangreichen Recherchen, ohne je die Intimität und das Gefühl für ihre Figuren zu verlieren.« THE NEW YORKER
