Joint winner of the 1992 Booker Prize for Fiction, The English Patient is Michael Ondaatje’s stunning novel set as the Second World War draws to a close. In a damaged villa north of Florence, a young nurse tends to a badly burned man — the mysterious English patient — whose extraordinary adventures and turbulent love affair in the North African desert slowly unfold around them.
In prose that soars, Ondaatje reveals the complex impact of public conflict on private lives — a breathtaking story of love, passion, and betrayal that twists through London’s Blitz and the dangerous world of desert exploration.
Now a triumphant film directed by Anthony Minghella, starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
