Hana, the grieving nurse; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the emotionally detached Indian sapper, Kip--each is haunted in different ways by the riddle of the man they know only as the English patient, a nameless burn victim who lies swathed in bandages in an upstairs room. It is this man's incandescent memories--of the bleak North African desert, of explorers' caves and Bedouin tribesmen, \u003cbr\u003eof 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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67392006062125,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_b606d960-c8e7-42db-b82c-053a0b124cdf.jpg?v=1787359203","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/english-patient-introduction-by-pico-iyer","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
