BOOK SYNOPSIS
With his first novel since the internationally acclaimed The English Patient, Booker Prizewinning author Michael Ondaatje gives us a work displaying all the richness of imagery and language and the piercing emotional truth that we have come to know as the hallmarks of his writing.
Anils Ghost transports us to Sri Lanka, a country steeped in centuries of tradition, now forced into the late twentieth century by the ravages of civil war. Into this maelstrom steps Anil Tissera, a young woman born in Sri Lanka, educated in England and America, who returns to her homeland as a forensic anthropologist sent by an international human rights group to discover the source of the organized campaigns of murder engulfing the island. What follows is a story about love, about family, about identity, about the unknown enemy, about the quest to unlock the hidden pasta story propelled by a riveting mystery. Unfolding against the deeply evocative background of Sri Lankas landscape and ancient civilization, Anils Ghost is a literary spellbinderMichael Ondaatjes most powerful novel yet.
BOOK REVIEWS
