The Patient

Product Information

I had some trepidations getting into it. It's amazing that some images, little details stayed with me all this time. Of course, there were things I'd forgotten, such as the fact that Caravaggio was Hana's family friend, that Almasy, aka the English Patient, was fifteen years older than his love interest, Katherine. I confess, the movie adaptation, which I love, did muddle my reading experience a bit, albeit not as much as I expected it.

The Patient: The Patient Limited Series Featurette - Inside Look How Steve Carell Went From Actor to Therapist From Alicia's diary, we learn that Theo is the one who gave her the morphine. Theo knew from her story that she must have recognized him (she told an inaccurate story to test him). The night of Gabriel's death, Theo hadn't known about her traumatic history of feeling uncared for, and didn't know his stunt would result in her killing Gabriel. Later, Theo had taken for her case to genuinely try to treat her (he felt guilty about his involvement), but when Theo realized she recognized him, he had to kill her. The book ends with the police having found her diary and showing up at Theo's house (to ask him about it and presumably to arrest him). Prange, Stephanie (November 1, 2022).

The filmmakers frequently take bits of scenes from one section of the book and juxtapose them in another – always for emotional impact and clarity. The cinematography and music also add fascinating layers. The novel features a different conclusion, but both film and book end on satisfying, hopeful notes.

Drew Barrymore Sobs In Emotional 'Drew Barrymore Show' Interview With The Long Island Medium: "I've Had A Yearning My Whole Life For Family"The plot is kind of strange. It's about four people - a nurse, a bomb defuser, a thief, and a burned patient - all living in this abandoned villa post-WWII. That sounds like it should be interesting, but in the first third of the book, the characters drift without purpose, swimming through the heavy-handed prose like sluggish fish. The story doesn't really get interesting until the last two thirds of the story, where the eponymous English patient finally tells his story of espionage and doomed romance.
