By Michael Ondaatje

What We Say: A wondrous look at how modern Sri Lanka is haunted by its brutal civil war, Anil’s Ghost tells the story of a forensic anthropologist born in Sri Lanka but educated in the West, who is sent by a human rights group to identify the victims of the massacres and counter-massacres across her home country.

What They Say: “There is much to astonish, to disturb and to admire in this dense book... a rare triumph” – Guardian
