The English Patient is a must-read for those who like historical fiction with a touch of romance. Ondaatje's lyrical prose and poetic narration interweave the lives of four characters - Hana, Caravaggio, Kip, and the unnamed English patient - enveloping readers in a world of passion, betrayal, and sacrifice. The book's distinctive feature is how it captures the human cost of war and the enduring power of love. Winner of the Booker Prize, The English Patient is a haunting tale that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.
