Hana, a grieving Canadian nurse; Caravaggio, a maimed former thief; and Kip, an emotionally detached Indian sapper--all three are haunted in different ways by the man they know as 'the English patient,' a nameless burn victim who lies in an upstairs room. It is this man's incandescent memories--of the bleak North African desert, of explorers' caves and Bedouin tribesmen, of forbidden love, and of annihilating anger--that illuminate the story, and the consequences of the mysteries they reveal radiate outward in shock waves that leave all the characters forever changed"--Dust jacket flap. 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vFiction. |=^A517579 651 0 Italy |vFiction. |=^A516024 651 7 Italy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204565 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 War fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01922585 655 7 Historical fiction. |2gsafd 655 7 War stories. |2gsafd 655 7 Historical fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 War fiction. |2lcgft 700 1 Iyer, Pico, |ewriter of introduction. |=^A283747 830 0 Everyman's library (Alfred A.
