Teenagers Nathaniel and Rachel are siblings left in the care of two dodgy characters, Moth and his friend Darter, in war-torn London in 1945.  Evidence slowly accrues suggesting that Nathaniel and Rachel's mother, Rose, may be with British intelligence as the painful truth of this fractured family emerges and Rose's riveting story takes center stage.  Ondaatje's coming of age story explores the world of memory and history in spellbinding prose.
