Read More »Patrick ’s daughter and Kip ’s lover. Hana is a 20-year-old Canadian nurse during World War II. She is stationed at the Villa San Girolamo, a former nunnery and makeshift war hospital in Northern Italy, but she refuses to leave the villa near the end of the war because of her unstable patient, known to her only as the English patient . The English patient has been badly burned and suffers from amnesia, and Hana spends all her time caring for him. She plants a garden in the villa’s orchard to feed them, and she frequently reads to him, either books from the villa’s library or the English patient’s own copy of Herodotus’s The Histories . Books are an exceedingly important part of Hana’s life, and since she is isolated at the abandoned villa, books are her only access to the outside world. The violence and trauma of the war has taken its toll on Hana, and she is likely suffering from shell-shock, or post-traumatic stress. Her trauma is exacerbated by the death of her father, Patrick, who was killed in the war. Like the English patient, Patrick was badly burned and died alone in France, something over which Hana feels intense guilt. As a nurse, Hana believes she should have been with Patrick as he died, and she wonders if she may have been able to help him. Because of this deep guilt, Hana puts all her energy into the English patient, for whom she develops both romantic and familial love. Through her love for the English patient, Hana comes to terms with the profound loss of her father and begins to heal after the stress of war. Caravaggio , an old friend of Patrick’s, comes to stay at the villa with her, as does Kip, an Indian sapper who is there to diffuse bombs on the property. Hana, enchanted by Kip’s exoticism, has a love affair with him during his time there. She begins to move toward positive healing after the war through the love she shares with the others at the villa. By the end of the novel, she is ready to return home to Canada, where her stepmother Clara lives. Hana’s character illustrates the power of love to give one strength and reason when there is little will to go on. Through her love for the three men at the villa, Hana begins the long and slow process of healing after the traumas of war.
