The English Patient is a novel about: a young nurse named
Hana, a Sikh
bomb-disposal expert named Kip, a
thief turned
spy named
Caravaggio, and a burnt black
english man who no one knows the identity of all living together at the end of the
Second World War.
Michael Ondaatje is brilliant in expressing the
history and lives of the people who were in the war.
My favorite quote from the novel:
"For echo is the soul of the voice exciting itself in hollow places"
