With ravishing beauty and unsettling intelligence, Michael Ondaatjes Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an Italian villa at the end of World War II. Hana, the exhausted nurse; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the wary sapper, Kip: each is haunted by the riddle of the English patient, the nameless, burned man who lies in an upstairs room and whose memories of passion, betrayal,and rescue illuminates this book like flashes of heat lightening.

SynopsisAt the end of World War II, the lives of four people--a young American nurse, her dying English patient, a handless American thief, and an Indian soldier in the British army--intertwine in a deserted Italian villa.
Michael Ondaatje weaves a tale of wartime realism around the stories of the characters giving the reader an intimate look into the lives of those who survived the aftermath of pain and destruction. Through his poetry and insight the author takes us from a lonely and unimaginable place to one of redemption and renewed hope.
