Divisadero

It is the 1970s in Northern California. A farmer and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work the land with the help of Coop, the enigmatic young man who lives with them. Theirs` is a makeshift family, until they are riven by an incident of violence – of both hand and heart – that `sets fire to the rest of their lives`. This is a story of possession and loss, about the often discordant demands of family, love, and memory. Written in the sensuous prose for which Michael Ondaatje`s fiction is celebrated, “Divisadero” is the work of a master story-teller.
