Michelle de Kretser was eight years old when her mother saw a ghost. It’s a story she tells with great relish, conjuring up for you a dry day in Jaffna and a family of six staying in King’s House.
The annular eclipse of the Sun on January 15, 2010 being a good reason to return to Jaffna, I decided to join the trip organised by Haka Lanka Tours for the Archaeological Society.
