In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje

4.0

I fell in love with Toronto as a teenager. The English Patient is of course brilliant and a favorite, but In the Skin of a Lion holds a special place in my heart. It felt, in a paradoxical way, more warmly intimate because it encompasses an entire city and culture rather than the inhabitants of a house/village. A book that will make you smile and make your heart ache.
