This paper attempts to bring out the adoption of the English Lifestyle by the characters in the novel, Cinnamon Gardens. Lifestyle is the way one chooses to live, which includes their attitudes, style and material possessions of the individual or the society. It may be social, political or cultural acceptance by a group or individuals. The aspects include material possessions, language, reading, education. The social acceptance includes the dinners, parties and the material possessions in the households. Only a particular group or the characters agree to the higher education of the female characters in the novel. Each individual character acknowledges certain characteristics as per their interests and opinions. The past has its influence over the present. The past incidents in the lives of the characters helped them to understand and analyse the situation which enabled them to adopt to the English education. This is evident through their explicit acknowledgement of names of the streets and the properties owned by the wealthy families. The conventional part is never forbidden, it is just the emergence of the acceptance among the characters which would result in the evolution process. The several different interpretations about the aspects of reading are given significance in this paper. Reading does not stop with the expansion of knowledge but also provides the mental stimulation and improves the analytical thought process in the readers. These aspects are elucidated through events from the novel. A detailed analysis of the views of the Ceylonese society, a particular group and also the opinions of the individuals with respect to the acceptance of the English lifestyle is explored in this paper.
