What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
An uplifting true story of finding love after the horrors of war. For fans of THE TATTOIST OF AUSCHWITZ, SCHINDLER'S LIST and THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS
It's 1945, and Miklos is looking for love...
He whistles up a list if 117 Hungarian women from his village, and in his beautiful handwriting, he writes to each of them.
But what's the catch?
Miklos has just emerged from Belsen, and is recovering in a refugee camp in Sweden. He is so weak that he has only six months to live.
But Miklos is not going to allow a small thing like that stand in the way of love...
Spoiler Alert: FEVER AT DAWN is inspired by the true story of the author's parents, which may give you an idea of how Miklos' plan unfolds...
