Lejos de su padre, de su gemela Claire y de Coop -un misterioso muchacho acogido por la familia- encontrara en la literatura y en la reconstruccion de la biografia de un importante escritor la manera de conciliarse con su pasado. Resenas: Ondaatje escribe sobre el amor logrando que, en un delirio, la prosa alcance una belleza exorbitante. The Times Michael Ondaatje es el William Faulkner canadiense. Mediante imagenes inolvidables y un estilo inimitable, sus novelas narran el ascenso y caida del corazon humano. Su nueva novela es cautivadora y conmovedora. Vancouver Sun Dejate llevar por Ondaatje y su lenguaje te seducira. Hay algo enternecedoramente humano en este libro. The New York Times Sunday Book Review Ondaatje tiene el don de capturar la musica y el paisaje en palabras. Time De la primera a la ultima frase, este hermoso cuento, poetico y con un toque humano, es un sorprendente y maravilloso placer. USA Today Divisadero tiene la marca de la casa de Ondaatje: una prosa seductora, personajes quijotescos y gran complejidad psicologica.
