In the final months of the Second World War, an abandoned villa in Tuscany brings together four characters: a burned man whose past is a mystery, a nurse who devotes her care to that patient, a cynical friend of the nurse's family, and a Sikh sapper. Their stories converge in a tale of love, loss and redemption.
The novel won the Booker Prize in 1992. The translation is by Carlos Manzano. The film adaptation of the novel won 9 Academy Awards.
