Description
The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje is set in the final days of World War II, where four damaged lives intersect in an abandoned Italian villa. A Canadian nurse, a former thief, and an Indian sapper are all drawn to a mysterious man known only as 'the English patient', who lies injured in an upstairs room. The English patient's memories - of the desert, explorers' caves, Bedouin tribesmen, forbidden love, and annihilating anger - are incandescent and illuminating. As these memories unfold, they have far-reaching consequences that change all those involved forever. This powerful novel explores the mysteries of human experience, revealing the lasting impact of secrets and the devastating effects of war on individuals and communities.
