Story:

This novel is very much like the desert itself-slightly obscure with a plot that twists and turns in time and distant moody characters. But beneath its stark quality there is a quietly simmering passion between Hana and Kip, Almasy and Katharine. It’s a love story- but with a mystical, ethereal quality, bursting with the suppressed longings of each character. These emotionally fragile individuals gather in a broken villa at the end of the war,their mental scars physically personified by the patient on his deathbed,who alternates between a painful present and an elusive past.This book also has one of the finest descriptions of the desert.It is writing at its best.
