Synopsis

Flickering Fortunes is a story set against the history of battles against colonial conquerors, seen through the eyes of a boy growing up in colonial Ceylon, an observant journalist since independence and later as a global corporate leader who viewed Sri Lanka from outside looking in. The author, Lakshman Ratnapala, Emeritus President & CEO of the Pacific Asia Travel Association is an intrepid traveler with an inquisitive mind. Flickering Fortunes takes him on a voyage of discovery -- of himself, recording the historic events of his time as he grew up as a privileged child in Ceylon. The narrative weaves a colorful tapestry of changes that accompanied the political evolution, the social transformation and the cultural liberation of the country and people.
