Memorable Quote (from the book)
"Just because you share blood doesn’t mean you share love. But sometimes, you do."
Translation (Sinhala):
"ලේ බෙදාගන්නවා කියලා ආදරය බෙදාගන්නවා කියන්නේ නැහැ. නමුත් සමහර විට එය දෙකම විය හැක."
Translation (Tamil):
"இரத்தத்தைப் பகிர்வதற்காகவே அன்பும் இருக்கும் என்றில்லை ஆனால் சில நேரங்களில் இரண்டும் ஏற்படலாம்."
