| Description |

Taking its title from the Spanish "division" street in San Francisco, this richly layered, nonlinear novel from the Booker Prize–winning author of The English Patient and Anil's Ghost won Canada's prestigious Governor General's Award in 2007. It follows Anna, Claire, and Coop, raised together on a Northern California ranch in the 1970s, after they are violently separated yet remain part of each other. Michael Ondaatje's dreamlike plot is suffused with superbly evocative imagery—while this is his fifth novel, he has written a dozen books of poetry—and the story changes from Anna's, who has retreated to a farmhouse in France, to that of the poet who once lived there, and was himself separated from his gypsy love. "Ravishing and intricate ... so unforgettable that it's hard, on finishing, not to turn back to the opening page and start all over."—Pico Iyer
