    If you have a small place in your heart for Colombo, this is a must-have in your collection :) How the city has drastically changed over a very short pan of time is breathtaking. For all the good people who have left this country and want to still relive a bit of those good memories, this book is a must-have.

    I've got the book in my hands and am in awe. Nazly's through-the-lens view of Colombo is gritty, authentic, eye-opening. Kris Thomas does magic with the narrative. I've got much more to say on this!

    Looking through the photos of Colours of Colombo brought tears to my eyes today. It made me think of the crowded roads of Colombo, the smell of warm salty water of the Indian Ocean, the noise of Tuk Tuks, and the simple pleasure of having isso wade at Galle Face…. It made my heart long for the place I used to call home ♥

    Bright, colourful and joyous - some of the best characteristics to describe Colombo - also to describe the collection of photos in this book. You get a fantastic point of view from a local's perspective while celebrating all the big and little things in Colombo: from the architecture all the way to the human emotion.
