The English Patient - Michael Ondaatje

pages: 320  published: 1992

The story of four people who's lives are brought together by the second world war in Italy; a young English nurse, an Indian sapper, an English thief and a burnt, possibly English, patient. They all live in an abandoned makeshift war hospital, torn apart by bombshells.

Too many flashbacks and changing from one character's story to the next, without clear separation. The stories blur into one another, very confusing. I had to force myself to finish.
