About This Item
London: Bloomsbury, 1992. 1st UK Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. Full navy cloth. Blue ribbon marker. 302 pp. Dust jacket has some light wear to extremities and a few small damp stains to covers. In The English Patient, Ondaatje weaves a complex tapestry as he follows the paths of four diverse lives caught and changed and inextricably connected by the improbably circumstances of war. This is a breathtaking story of love and passion that twists through London's Blitz and the intricacies of bomb disposal, through the mysterious, often dangerous world of desert exploration. In prose that soars he reveals the complex impact of public conflict on private lives. It is one of Ondaatje's finest works.
