With unsettling beauty and intelligence, this Golden Man Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an abandoned Italian villa at the end of World War II.
Michael Ondaatje lyrically portrays the convergence of four damaged lives in a bomb-riddled Italian villa in the last days of World War II.
Hana, a Canadian nurse, exhausted by death and grieving for her own dead father; the maimed thief-turned-Allied-agent, Caravaggio; Kip, the emotionally detached Indian sapper – each is haunted in different ways by the man they know only as the English patient, a nameless burn victim who lies in an upstairs room. His extraordinary knowledge and morphine-induced memories – of the North African desert, of explorers and tribes, of history and cartography; and also of forbidden love, suffering and betrayal – illuminate the story and leave all the characters for ever changed.
'The best piece of fiction I've read in years.'
The Independent on Sunday
'One of the most innovative and liberating writers of our time.'
