Warlight downloadable version

Who guided me to something better? Or accepted the few small things I was competent at? Who taught me to laugh as I lied? But above all, most of all, how much damage did I do? And another nugget. There are many passages in Warlight that call you to return, mull, and savor. A writer who is not fond of linear narrative, he jumps about without much warning, but attentive readers should have little difficulty knowing when they are in the narrative.

While considerable attention is paid to the business of international intrigue, that seems more to provide a palette against which the characters can be displayed. Warlight may be about the dim light of history, secrecy, mystery, and uncertainty, but it glows with the luminescence of a master story-teller at the peak of his power.

Whether you read by the glow of a low-wattage bulb or under the blaze of the noonday sun, the sparkle will shine through. The challenge of making moral decisions under dangerous and murky conditions that is presented here should, nonetheless, leave you with a simple, unambiguous, choice.

Warlight is such a brilliant piece of work that you might need shades. Review posted — May 4, Publication — May 8, I received the book from the publisher's First To Read program in return for an honest review.

I will post the dishonest review elsewhere. He is creating the literary equivalent of a Cornell box or a rock garden or a floral arrangement. Elyse Walters. Damn this was good!!!! I was completely captivated to the end. Nathaniel—is an adult writing about his life.

In childhood, Nathaniel, 14, and Rachel 16, get entangled with a slew of fascinating sinewy boisterous characters whom most seem to have nicknames. The siblings and their mother also have nicknames…very symbolic to this novel: everyone being a substitute. Smugglers and low lives replace parents. Her secrets - lies - betrayal- and heroism - resulted in adverse blacklash for their family.

Past wars are never past. The loss, destruction, and hurt still lives. Michael Ondaatje is phenomenally talented. His prose is powerful and luminous. Extraordinary mysterious atmosphere—a few violent scenes - seductive to the end. Jeffrey Keeten. Author 2 books k followers. He said we needed to prepare for such moments in order to deal with them efficiently, in case we suddenly had to take control of our wits.

Those times exist for all of us, he kept saying. Just as no score relies on only one pitch or level of effort from musicians in the orchestra. Sometimes it relies on silence. It was a strange warning to be given, to accept that nothing was safe anymore. The war is over, but not for everyone.

Those who had been working in the shadows during WW2 are now being asked to transition to a new war that would eventually be referred to as The Cold War. They either know too much or they have thwarted too many insidious plans. Of course, we can only speculate because Rose Williams does not talk about her life during the war.

To her children, her life is an enigma that can only be unraveled with truth serum. She is not an ideal mother. She is distant when they want her to be warm.

She gives cryptic advice when they need her reassurances. And then their father and mother disappear. Rachel has just turned 16, and Nathaniel is They are left in the hands of a man they call The Moth and another more dynamic personality called The Darter. The family makes a habit of assigning people nicknames; Rachel is Wren, and Nathaniel is Stitch. The Moth and The Darter are an odd pairing, but then these are unusual circumstances that require people who can protect them rather than be the surrogate parents they wish for.

The interesting friends and associates, especially of Darter, who Stitch and Wren come into contact with provide a view of alternative lifestyles that are sometimes disconcerting, but whether they know it or not, those brief contacts with those people are expanding their definitions of what a normal life looks like.

The contact is brief indeed. Just when they start to know someone, they disappear, never to be seen again, which each time is like losing their parents all over again. One woman, in particular, proves memorable, especially for Stitch.

She is Olive Lawrence, an ethnographer with way too much class to be the girlfriend of a barge rat like The Darter, but there is something about him that fascinates her. He might be ferrying greyhounds from other countries to be used in one of the numerous illegal betting tracks, or it might be something much more dangerous.

Stitch is a natural at covert activities. And then his mother returns. His mother remains a nebulous creature, impossible to hold, impossible to know. Maps: WarLight has over a thousand hand-made maps to choose from, with more being added all the time.
