The English Patient

A young nurse, a thief, a sapper (bomb defusing specialist) and a burn victim spent time together in an abandoned Tuscan villa towards the end of WWII. We follow their days, in small details, from multiple perspectives and memories, and we slowly get to know their past and uncover the mystery of the English patient, all executed in beautiful language. The book wasn't as moving as I remember the movie having been, back in the day. 3.5
