In The Skin of a Lion
I’m pretty sure this is one of my favourite ISU choices ever. I absolutely love it. Maybe one of my favourite books in a very long time.
Ondaatje’s (awesome name… and the guy has an awesome voice too, perfect for reading, and he’s a poet… and Canadian/Sri Lankan!) writing is so poetic, especially in this book. The English Patient had more of a greyish mood, but in this it’s even more dreamlike, and woven together to make these beautiful snapshots. Ack. I can’t get enough of it.
I love it. Love it! And now off to read some more. :)
