They suspect he might be a criminal, and grow both more convinced and less concerned as they get to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women all who seem determined to protect Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? A dozen years later, Nathaniel journeys through recollection, reality and imagination to uncover all he didn’t know or understand in that time, to piece together a story that feels something like the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e ‘A novel of shadowy brilliance’\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e‘Fiction as rich, as beautiful, as melancholy as life itself, written in the visionary language of memory’ \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e‘Ondaatje brilliantly threads the mysteries and disguises and tangled loyalties and personal yearnings of the secret world.
