War's remnants, a haunting tale of love.

"The English Patient" is for anyone who's drawn to rich, lyrical prose and stories that unravel slowly, revealing their secrets like a flower opening at dusk. Michael Ondaatje weaves a narrative that's as poignant as it is mysterious, giving readers a glimpse into the complexities of love, the brutal consequences of war, and the healing power of storytelling. It's a book that clings to you, with characters that feel as real and as haunted as the villa they inhabit.

Description

The final curtain is closing on the Second World War, and Hana, a nurse, stays behind in an abandoned Italian villa to tend to her only remaining patient. Rescued by Bedouins from a burning plane, he is English, anonymous, damaged beyond recognition and haunted by his memories of passion and betrayal. The only clue Hana has to his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire – a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes describing a painful and ultimately tragic love affair.
