The Cat's Table by Michael Ondaatje

From the acclaimed author of The English Patient comes a stunningly beautiful novel about a boy's life-changing journey from Ceylon to England in the 1950s. What had there been before such a ship in my life?

One of the most admirable and enthralling literary novels of the year * Daily Mail *
Extraordinary * Guardian *
Superbly poised between the magic of innocence and the melancholy of experience * The Economist *
Michael Ondaatje's impressive new novel, containing dreams and fantasy between a ship's flanks..is, in the most etymological way, a wonderful novel: one full of wonders -- Philip Hensher * Daily Telegraph *
Atmospheric, elegiac and at times, like Ondaatje's most famous novel, The English Patient, unbearably poignant -- Sebastian Shakespeare * Tatler *
