Purity and Hope is the first published collection of the work of Aruni McShane, a poet and essayist whose writing builds a bridge between her native Sri Lanka and her adopted home in Wales.

As Sri Lanka celebrates the 75th anniversary of its independence from Britain, one of it’s gifted artists shares her own journey towards creative independence and a renewal of her own identity, and sketches a portrait of the fierce, selfless love of a mother for her children.
