This is a very impressive novel. Michael Ondaatje really draws you in, and you can't help but read on, eventhough you might not necessarily like what's coming. I read the book at least half a year ago and some of the images are still vivid in my head.

The story:
Anil Tissera, born in Sri Lanka and educated in England and America, returns to her motherland, which is in the middle of a civil war. Anil is a forensic anthropologist sent by an international human rights group to find out who's behind the campaigns of murder on the island. This is a story about identity, history, family, love, and quite a bit of mystery.

From the first BookBox in the Netherlands. I am triggered by your enthousiastic comment. I'll let you know how I experienced it after reading (which will cost me a lot of time...) Workload...

Wow, I didn't know I had this book for so long in my collection. Now it is time to release it (May 2012) on another continent before we move again.

At the end of the cafe.
