"Ondaatje's first novel in seven years mesmerizes from start to finish... A violent event pivots the narrative into thriller territory, simultaneously revealing an intricate puzzle of a love story." -- Hephzibah Anderson * Mail on Sunday * "[Warlight is] so cunningly assembled... leaner than The English Patient and its focus is tighter, a searchlight's focus." -- Anna Mundow * Washington Post * "Ondaatje [is] such a thrilling writer... I loved [Warlight]." -- Johanna Thomas-Corr * Evening Standard * "Skilfully navigating espionage, betrayal and deception, Warlight... takes [Ondaatje] deep into John le Carre territory... a lyrical but sinister mosaic of a hidden world." -- Boyd Tonkin * Economist 1843 * "Warlight is Ondaatje's most haunting novel after The English Patient... mesmerising." -- Nilanjana Roy * Financial Times *
