Michael Ondaatjeâs Booker Prizeâwinning best seller lyrically portrays the convergence of four damaged lives in a bomb-riddled Italian villa in the last days of the war. Hana, the grieving nurse; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the emotionally detached Indian sapper, Kipâeach is haunted in different ways by the riddle of the man they know only as the English patient, a nameless burn victim who lies swathed in bandages in an upstairs room. It is this manâs incandescent memoriesâof the bleak North African desert, of explorersâ caves and Bedouin tribesmen,
of forbidden love, and of annihilating angerâthat illuminate the story, and the consequences of the mysteries they reveal radiate outward in shock waves that leave all the characters forever changed.
