freemti 's review for:
The Cat's Table
by Michael Ondaatje
Very engaging, a wide array of interesting secondary characters set against some strong, emotionally complex main ones with the lead narrator leading us through the story's start in his native Sri Lanka, his life affecting experiences on the voyage to his new home in England. Its hard not to miss the imagery of the sea voyage and the parallel voyage of the young boy into early adulthood, the author takes this a step further by jumping forward at times to more recent history in the narrator's life as he and his shipboard friends grapple with life still carrying baggage from their childhood adventures at sea. This is my second book by this author, The English Patient being the other, a book I also found quite good, its plain I will be reading some of his other works
