Twenty-five years after leaving the exotic country of his birth, the author of The English Patient journeys home. This classic recording of Running in the Family features vintage music from the Jazz Age, along with the soft, sensuous voice of Michael Ondaatje himself.
Through a haze of heat and memory, Ondaatje's doomed parents and eccentric grandparents shimmer to life, against the brilliant backdrop of colonial Ceylon. Here is a captivating portrait of a society consumed by gambling and gin, where young and old dance the tango in the moonlight, witty feuds command the pages of hotel registers, and passionate love affairs "rainbow" over marriages.
