Anil's Ghost (2000) by Michael Ondaatje

Well, I finally completed the reading of this book.

I can't say I enjoyed it but I'm glad I read it.

A number of images and characters will haunt me from time to time. It was very evocative. So many things remained unstated or at least understated.

Overall I think it needed clearer editing to be less of a frustrating read and more accessible. But I guess the medium is the message. The frustration of everyday life in a war-torn country. The inaccessibility of love...
