karinlib 's review for:
Running in the Family
by Michael Ondaatje
2.5 stars. I read The English Patient many years ago and loved it. I did not love this book. It had some very evocative moments, but overall I was bored.
A friend of mine grew up in then Ceylon and her descriptions of its beauty and ambience, gave me a desire to see this gem of an Island. I had high hopes for this book, but it fell short for me.
Running in the Family is a book of memories of the Ondaatje family, of Michael's Grandparents and Parents. The impression I got from this book was that they were all alcoholics, of their escapades when they were drunk.
