About This Novel
That seemingly short journey alone turned out to be so long that it changed my entire life. Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro's beloved writer Michael Ondaatje! Winner of the 50th Anniversary Booker Prize, the Golden Booker Prize, and a rare "versatile poet and novelist" in the world of literature, Ondaatje Ondaatje's first moving novel since "The English Patient" is based on his extraordinary life experience when he was 11 years old! A charming novel about growth, memory and love, the author's true feelings and beautiful poetry are revealed in the plainness. It is a healing work for Ondaatje's recollection of his boyhood. As we travel alone for the first time, we are looking for the unformed parts of ourselves. Ondaatje's imagination borders on the surreal! --Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro. An 11-year-old boy embarks on a 21-day sea journey alone for the first time. He will witness growth, friendship and transformation. "The three-week sea voyage, in my first memory, was uneventful. Only now, many years later, when my children encourage me to tell the story of this journey, has it turned into an adventure. Through their eyes, it has even become something extraordinary in life. A coming-of-age ceremony."
