About this listen

Bristling with intelligence and shimmering with romance, this novel tests the boundary between history and myth.

Patrick Lewis arrives in Toronto in the 1920s and earns his living searching for a vanished millionaire and tunneling beneath Lake Ontario. In the course of his adventures, Patrick's life intersects with those of characters who reappear in Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning The English Patient.

Insights, magic, history embroidery in webs..

What a listen!
Being the third Ondaatje novel in a row, I now feel I have learnt so much more about the world..yet I am one of its elders.
It does not matter when they were written. They speak of such now events ( its quite, quite unnerving-even for a historian) yet they are seemingly unanchored.
Gifts I had somehow missed until now.
