From the Booker Award-winning author of The English Patient, Warlight is an elegiac thriller set in immediate post-WWII London. A pair of siblings, seemingly abandoned by their parents, have been left in the care of an enigmatic figure they call The Moth. They suspect that he may be a criminal and grow more convinced but less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends. This is a lyrical mystery about espionage, the afterlife of war, memory, and what it means to live a life partially in the dark.
