Fever at Dawn

<p><b><i>Fever at Dawn</i> has the sweetness of <i>The Rosie Project</i> and the pathos of <i>The Fault in Our Stars</i> . . . A book to fall in love with. -- <i> Herald Sun</i></b> <p/> It's 1945 and Miklós 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. <p/> Drawn from the real-life letters of Péter Gárdos's parents and reminiscent of the film <i>Life Is Beautiful</i><i> </i><i>Fever at Dawn</i> is a vibrant ribald and unforgettable tale showing the death-defying power of the human will to live and to love. <p/><b>At once heartrending and lighthearted this romance covers enormous ground in love and war joy and tragedy. -- Shelf Awareness starred review</b> <p/><b>A riveting and high-spirited journey from the brink of death toward life [<i>Fever at Dawn</i>] asserts the power of love. -- Julie Orringer author of <i>The Invisible Bridge</i></b></p>
