Synopses & Reviews

Review:

“Gorgeously exotic…. As he did in The English Patient, Mr. Ondaatje is able to commingle anguish and seductiveness in fierce, unexpected ways.”–The New York Times

From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis:

In modern day Sri Lanka, Anil Tissera is a forensic anthropologist sent by an international human rights group to discover the source of the organized campaigns of murder engulfing the island. Bodies and skeletons are discovered. What follows is a story about family, identity, and the unknown enemy, about the quest to unlock the hidden past--all propelled by a spellbinding mystery.
