"
Fever at Dawn
has the sweetness of
The Rosie Project
and the pathos of
The Fault in Our Stars
. . . A book to fall in love with." --
Herald Sun
It's 1945 and Mikl s is looking for a wife. The fact that he has six months left to live doesn't discourage him -- he isn't one to let small problems like that stand in the way, especially not after he's survived a concentration camp. Currently marooned in an all-male sanatorium in Sweden, and desperate to get out, he acquires the names of the 117 Hungarian women also recovering in Sweden and writes each of them a letter in his beautiful cursive hand. Luckily for him, Lili decides to write back.
Drawn from the real-life letters of P ter G rdos's parents, and reminiscent of the film
Life Is Beautiful
,
Fever at Dawn
is a vibrant, ribald, and unforgettable tale, showing the death-defying power of the human will to live and to love.
"At once heartrending and lighthearted, this romance covers enormous ground in love and war, joy and tragedy." -- Shelf Awareness, starred review
"A riveting and high-spirited journey from the brink of death toward life,
Fever at Dawn
] asserts the power of love." -- Julie Orringer, author of
The Invisible Bridge
