Krátky popis
'Our book of the year -and maybe of Ondaatje's career' Daily
Telegraph Books of the Year**LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE
2018**An elegiac, dreamlike novel set in post-WW2 London about
memory, family secrets and lies, from the internationally acclaimed
author of The English Patient'The past never remains in the
past...'London, 1945. The capital is still reeling from the
war.14-year-old Nathaniel and his older sister Rachel are abandoned
by their parents who leave the country on business, and are left in
the dubious care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. Nathaniel
is introduced to The Moth's band of criminal misfits and is caught
up in a series of teenage misadventures, from smuggling greyhounds
for illegal dog racing to lovers' trysts in abandoned buildings at
night. But is this eccentric crew really what and who they claim to
be? And most importantly, what happened to Nathaniel's mother? Was
her purported reason for leaving true? What secrets did she hide in
her past? Years later Nathaniel, now an adult, begins to slowly
piece together using the files of intelligence agencies - and
through reality, recollection and imagination - the startling
truths of puzzles formed decades earlier. -------'A novel of
shadowy brilliance'The Times'Fiction as rich, as beautiful, as
melancholy as life itself, written in the visionary language of
memory' Observer 'Ondaatje brilliantly threads the mysteries and
disguises and tangled loyalties and personal yearnings of the
secret world...and has constructed something of real emotional and
psychological heft, delicate melancholy and yet, frequently,
page-turning plottiness. I haven't read a better novel this
year.'Telegraph
