An 11-year-old Michael makes the journey by ship from Ceylon to England to join his mother and attend school. It’s a stolen season spent with two other coming-of-age boys with lots of time and active imaginations. But, people observed and experiences encountered are not always what they seem. I savored every word of this book over a week—at once a seeming memoir—it turns into an adventure with life-long repercussions. Amazing writing and storytelling.
