"Don't pinch me please. Let me go on dreaming. *****I know you will come and carry me out into the palace of winds. That's all I've wanted - to walk in such a place with you, with friends, an earth without maps. The lamp's gone out...I'm writing in the darkness.*****"

"That night I fell in love with a voice. Only a voice. I wanted to hear nothing more."

"Sleep gave Katherine no peace, for as soon as her eyes closed, her mind began to take her back, back, back, to the desert, the first place she saw the forbidden fruit. Yes, she did drop off to sleep, but then she was transported to another world, to the world of Almasy and his seven veils. The man could dance like no other."

"Joint winner of the 1992 Booker Prize for fiction, Michael Ondaatje's stunning novel takes place as the Second World War is ending. It explores the lives of a young woman and three men who are stranded in a damaged villa north of Florence as the war retreats around them. In an upstairs room lies the badly burned English patient, alive but unable to move. His extraordinary adventures and turbulent love affair in the North African desert before the war provide the focus around which the vivid tales of the companions revolve. This is a breathtaking story of love and passion that twists through London's Blitz and the intricacies of bomb disposal, through the mysterious, often dangerous world of desert exploration. Michael Ondaatje brings his formidable poetic and narrative powers to bear on the destiny of his four characters. In prose that soars he reveals the complex impact of public conflict on private lives. Now a triumphant film, winner of nine Oscars, directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe and Kristin Scott Thomas."

"Success? Don't you know it's all about being able to extend love to people? Really. Not in a big, capital-letter sense, but in the everyday. Little by little, task by task, gesture by gesture, word by word. --Ralph Fiennes
