About the book

Michael Ondaatje reconstructs the story of a ship journeying to England in the aftermath of World War II, seen through the eyes of a young boy observing life in third class. Among eccentric characters, intertwined stories and guarded secrets, the narrative drifts between memory, fiction and fantasy, creating a poetic tapestry of human encounters.

The novel is a delicate reflection on how we come to know one another, how we hold onto memories and how truth mixes with imagination, all wrapped in the romantic atmosphere of a long sea crossing.
