Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje
From the celebrated author of The English Patient and Anil's Ghost comes a remarkable, intimate novel of intersecting lives that ranges across continents and time. In the 1970s in Northern California a father and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop, an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them. Theirs is a makeshift family, until it is shattered by an incident of violence that sets fire to the rest of their lives. Divisadero takes us from San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada's casinos and eventually to the landscape of southern France. As the narrative moves back and forth through time and place, we find each of the characters trying to find some foothold in a present shadowed by the past.Michael Ondaatje has previously published three novels, a memoir, and eleven collections of poetry. The English Patient, his novel, earned the Booker Prize. He was born in Sri Lanka and immigrated to Canada in 1962, where he now resides in Toronto.
