Love of the English Patient

   Even though Hana loves the English patient, he still clings on to the love of his past, Katherine. The English patient, a desert explorer in 1930's, first meets Katherine when Geoffrey Clinton comes to desert with his plane to help the desert expedition. Katherine is the wife of Geoffrey, but she soon falls in love with the future "English patient". Their love for each other grows day by day and soon, the English patient, who abandons everything for exploring desert, becomes obsessed with his love for Katherine that he cannot live without her. Katherine feels the same way, too, but she is afraid to tell the truth to her husband, so she leaves the English patient. From the past love story of the English patient, I could see his past characteristics. He was a passionate lover and a solitary person. I am very looking forward to read more about him and Katherine's love story and how they resolve their conflict between their love and morality.

  1. Such treacherous affair with a brutal war as the background, so exciting yet sinful. It is reasonable why the English Patient could not forget Katherine. -Kristie

    1. Yea. People cannot bear to keep themselves away from excitement and sin. Their secret love affair was too thrilling for him to forget.

  2. I really like how the author revealed everything at last. It's like everything is suddenly resolved and the whole story completed.
