It is an illuminating novel written by Michael ondaatje. In this the story of four damaged lives tangled together at d end of the world war ll. The story involves characters like the melancholy, child like nurse hana, the emotionally and physically maimed thief, Caravaggio.
The pensive and wary Indian bomb disposal expert kip. And the burnt and broken English patient, and mysterious wounded soul without a name. The book is a sensual journey that must be taken step by step, very few books take you through this kind of self discovery and leave you with a new awareness of the corporeal. This book is slow moving dream, like a great surrounding poem.
The language is unbelievably sensual and the story is nothing you will ever read, I couldn’t ever express how much I love love this book. One of the best book I had never seen.
