The Cat's Table by Michael Ondaatje
4.0

A three week cruise from Sri Lanka to England to be reunited with his mother is the central event in 11 year old Michael's life. The cruise has a motley assortment of characters including a prisoner, a circus troupe, and a dying millionaire. The memories of this cruise follow Michael through his adult life. This was an enjoyable and reflective book. Almost a quasi-memoir. It was personal and emotional.
