What is The English Patient about?
Set in 1945, Michael Ondaatje’s brilliant and moving historical fiction has been translated into 40 languages and turned into an Oscar-winning film.Four very disparate war-torn people, a young woman and three men, take refuge in a damaged villa north of Florence as the war retreats around them. In an upstairs room lies the badly burned English patient, alive but unable to move. His extraordinary adventures and turbulent love affair in the North African desert before the war provide the focus around which the vivid tales of his companions revolve. His very presence will forever change the destiny of those around him."A challenging, disorienting, periodically captivating journey without maps, best when least showy, as in the marvellous account of Kip's adoption by an eccentric English peer, his bomb-disposal instructor." - Kirkus Reviews"That rare novel which gets under your skin and insists you return to it time and again, always yielding a new surprise or delight." - Kamila Shamsie, Golden Man Booker Prize judgeMichael Ondaatje is the author of seven novels, a memoir, a non-fiction book on film and several books of poetry. The English Patient won the Booker Prize in 1992 and
