The Cat's Table by Michael Ondaatje
4.0

This is the third book I've read by Michael Ondaatje and it did not disappoint. His writing style is so fluid and calming. This book was a great coming-of-age story of a boy named Michael on his 21 day journey from Sri Lanka to England. It makes me wonder what it would be ben like to be unaccompanied for that long at 11...

"There is a story, always ahead of you. Barely existing. Only gradually do you attach yourself to it and feed it. You discover the carapace that will contain and test your character. You find in this way the path of your life."

8.25/10
