‘Dabbling with the Devil’ -Released online

-

Author Vipula Wanigaseke­ra’s latest novel ‘Dabbling with the Devil’ reveals how circumstan­ces coerce people to take risks which they would otherwise resist. ‘The unknown causes will mostly surface in perverted ways in society’ the writer says. The dual nature of the world places the majority of people in both physical and psychologi­cal pain which they suffer most parts of their lives.

The story unleashes the emotional bond of a father and his blind daughter compelling him to go on a venture that society would call a crime if not a sin. An upmarket escort girl appears to contribute to this venture facing the reality that she has no other survival once she is no longer attractive to the clientele.

Despite all the twists, the book’s ending leaves the reader with a sympatheti­c smile.

The book has been launched online.
