Ondaatje traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an Italian villa at the end of World War II. Hana, the exhausted nurse; the maimed theif, 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 illuminate this book like flashes of heat lightning.
After reading Ondaatje's autobiography, I wasn't wild about reading this book, but since Hollywood thought it was a good enough story to make a movie out of it, I decided to give it a try. I wasn't very impressed with it, but I hope someone else will benefit from my releasing it!
