The English Patient: Winner of the Golden Man Booker Prize is a timeless literary gem by the acclaimed author Michael Ondaatje. This masterful work, awarded the prestigious Golden Man Booker Prize in 2018, invites readers into a world where love, loss, and identity intertwine against the ravages of war.

Set in a hauntingly beautiful yet devastated Italy during the aftermath of World War II, the story revolves around Hana, a devoted nurse who finds herself tending to a single patient—a mysterious Englishman salvaged from a fiery plane crash. As she cares for him in a deserted villa, layers of his identity are slowly peeled away, revealing the emotional scars that tell a much deeper story.

The English Patient eloquently explores:

  • Compelling narrative: A profound tale of love and memory, woven through the lives of those affected by war.
  • Rich historical context: Immerse yourself in the final days of World War II, where each character's past resonates deeply.
  • Deep character exploration: Journey through the intertwined fates of Hana and her enigmatic patient, revealing the essence of human connection.

This award-winning novel is not just a story; it is an exploration of the human experience, highlighting the fragile threads that connect us all amid chaos.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
