A haunting tale of love and war.

The book's distinctive feature is how it captures the human cost of war and the enduring power of love. Winner of the Booker Prize, The English Patient is a haunting tale that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.

With ravishing beauty and unsettling intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's 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.
