Omtale Anil's ghost
With his first novel since the internationally acclaimed The English Patient, 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.#11;The time is our own time. The place is Sri Lanka, the island nation formerly known as Ceylon, off the southern tip of India, a country steeped in centuries of cultural achievment and tradition - and forced into the late twentieth century by the ravages of civil war and the consequences of a country divided against itself.#11;Into this maelstrom steps a young woman, Anil Tissera, born in Sri Lanka, educated in England and America, a forensic anthropologist sent by an international human rights group to work with local officials to discover the source of the organized campaigns of murder engulfing the island.#11;Bodies are discovered. Skeletons. And particularly one, nicnamed "Sailor". What follows is a story about love, about family, about identity, about the unknown enemy, about the quest to unlock the hidden past - all propelled by a riveting mystery.#11;Unfolding against the deeply evocative background of Sri Lanka's landscape and ancient civilization, Anil's Ghost is a literary spellbinder - the most powerful novel we have yet had from Michael Ondaatje.
