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 "A riveting and high-spirited journey from the brink of death toward life . . . G?rdos illuminates the incredible power of the human will." --Julie Orringer It's 1945 and Miklos 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 the camps. 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.
