THE ENGLISH PATIENT - MICHAEL ONDAATJE TASCHENBUCH

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.
The nurse Hana  exhausted by death  obsessively tends to her last surviving patient. Caravaggio
the thief  tries to reimagine who he is  now that his hands are hopelessly maimed. The Indian
sapper Kip searches for hidden bombs in a landscape where nothing is safe but himself. And at
the center of his labyrinth lies the English patient  nameless and hideously burned  a man who
is both a riddle and a provocation to his companions-and whose memories of suffering  rescue 
and betrayal illuminate this book like flashes of heat lightning.
