In a narrative as mysterious as memory itself – at once both shadowed and luminous – Warlight is a vivid, thrilling novel of violence and love, intrigue and desire. It is 1945, and London is still reeling from the Blitz and years of war. 14-year-old Nathaniel and his sister, Rachel, are apparently abandoned by their parents, left in the care of an enigmatic figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and grow both more convinced and less concerned as they get to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women with a shared history, all of whom seem determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all he didn’t know or understand in that time, and it is this journey – through reality, recollection, and imagination – that is told in this magnificent novel.
作者简介迈克尔•翁达杰（Michael Ondaatje）
世界文坛罕见的“诗歌与小说全才”。1992年，翁达杰荣获英语文学至高荣誉布克奖；2018年，荣获布克奖50周年大奖“金布克奖”！
1943年，翁达杰出生于斯里兰卡，19岁移民加拿大。他凭《英国病人》获得布克奖和加拿大总督奖。2018年，翁达杰新作《战时灯火》在英国出版，再次获得布克奖评委的青睐。
诺贝尔奖作家石黑一雄与翁达杰对谈时，感叹“翁达杰的想象力接近超现实”。翁达杰也直言：“我从来不愿意写一部结局完满的小说。在结尾处我总要留一扇门。我的故事里有角色消失了25页以后忽然又回来了，但他们并不需要解释之前去哪儿了。”
