:'American novelist Philip Caputo has also written a novel named "Acts of Faith"'

'Acts of Faith' is the 1985 novel written by Rajiva Wijesinha. The book is the first in a trilogy that was followed by 'Days of Despair' in 1987 and concludes with 2005's 'The Limits of Love'.

Plot summary



By Using the 1983 race riots in Sri Lanka as a background, 'Acts of Faith' explores social and political issues which characterize Sri Lanka and other Asian nations. The book provides a satirical critique of observed state-incited violence, manipulation of the media, caste and class rivalries.

At the same time, underneath the racy humour there is a close attention to personal motivations, particularly in terms of the family structures that dominate such societies.
