October Wrap Up

Books

• The English Patient // Michael Ondaatje

Synopsis :

With ravishing beauty and unsettling intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an Italian villa at the end of World War II. Hana, the exhausted nurse; the maimed thief, 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.

Rate : 4.5 / 5 ⭐

Review : 

I loved the story although the beginning was too slow. Until like the part where the character Strider is introduced I found it pretty hard to get through the book. But overall the story is really interesting. Dont have much to say since this is pretty much a reread.
