This is my favourite book by my favourite writer! This is possibly because I read it first, on the edge of a little bay, at the recommendation of a special friend, when we were both still young with little children. Now I'm a lot older the sensuousness and magic of that first book by Ondaatje has never left me. I admit that 'In the skin of a lion', 'The English patient' and 'Anil's Ghost' may be academically better books but THIS is it!

On special loan to a dreamer. I hope you enjoy this, Folde (no pressure!).

Just got it with the mail from Sujie.
