He met her when she arrived in North Africa with her husband. He fell in love with her when she quoted Herodotus, sitting by a fire on a southern night. He lost her when she became everything in his life.
Now all that remains of him is a frail body, lying on a hospital bed in a ruined Italian villa. Nurse Hana voluntarily cares for her 'English patient'. She sees in him the familiar life that was taken away by World War II. His condition worsens, memory fades, slipping away like sand through fingers. But he smiles, for with each day he becomes closer to his Catherine.
