Helene Moss’s new romance novel “The Love of a White Woman”, expected to be published in September 2026, takes readers to Sri Lanka, to the coastal town of Hikkaduwa, which has become the author’s second home.
The novel tells the story of an all-consuming love between an Estonian woman and a local young man — a relationship that begins unexpectedly, deepens quickly, and is tested by cultural differences, contrasting ways of life, expectations, and personal boundaries.
Set against the heat of an exotic island, turquoise ocean shores, and the rhythms of local life, the story unfolds with passion, emotional honesty, inner conflict, and deep love.
“The Love of a White Woman” explores not only attraction and powerful feelings, but also longing, disappointment, and the question of whether love can survive when two people come from entirely different cultural worlds
