Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was hooked from the start - Just could not put it down and cursed when I had to .... I loved the writing and the descriptions of the period and places, a time that no longer exists but full of fascinating detail that made you feel as though you were sitting there watching it all happen in front of you. The author is quite a story-teller. There were crazy, colourful and interesting characters in his family. I was in stitches at some of the antics that his father got up to and at the same time could not believe how he could have done some of the things he did!!! I also loved the photos that were included in the book. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
