In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMICHAEL ONDAATJE is the author of six pre­vious novels, a memoir, a nonfiction book on film, and several books of poetry. \u003ci\u003eThe English Patient \u003c\/i\u003ewon the Booker Prize in 1992 and the Golden Man Booker in 2018; \u003ci\u003eAnil's Ghost \u003c\/i\u003ewon the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, the Giller Prize, and the Prix Médicis.
