He met her when she came to North Africa with her husband. He fell in love with her as she quoted Herodotus around a campfire on a southern night. He lost her when she became everything in his life.

Now all that remains of him is his mortal body, lying in a hospital bed in a ruined Italian villa. Nurse Hana volunteers to care for her "English patient." She sees in him a familiar life, taken away by World War II. His condition worsens, his memory weakens, slipping through his fingers like sand. But he smiles, because with each passing day he grows closer to his Catherine.
