Reviews:

"Unravels the fascinating saga of the founding of Mahamaya Girls' School in Kandy at a time when Buddhist education had suffered a severe setback ..." --Dr. Lorna Dewaraja, Director, Bandaranaike Diplomatic Training Institute, Colombo.

 "It is fascinating to read how these women and their families came together and were united in achieving their objective of establishing the school..." Dr. Swarna Jayaweera, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Colombo.

 "It is no ordinary history of one of our leading schools.  Indrani Meegama has captured the socio-cultural and political landscape of the time remarkably well and turned out a scintillating product."--Eric J. de Silva, Former Secretary, Ministry of Education.
