“Hi there,
Oh, I absolutely agree and share in your comment made on this book! I have also read the book and have seen the movie format a few times I'm sure. Ondaatje is a master here at play...excellent story told. I cried at the very end of this movie. And, how can you not like Fiennes as the lead male actor, he is brilliant in that movie. I had the biggest crush on him from then on! You have a great selection of novels in your profile, good for you!”
