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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawn from the real-life letters of Péter Gárdos's parents, and reminiscent of the film \u003ci\u003eLife Is Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eFever at Dawn\u003c\/i\u003e is a vibrant, ribald, and unforgettable tale, showing the death-defying power of the human will to live and to love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"At once heartrending and lighthearted, this romance covers enormous ground in love and war, joy and tragedy.\" -- Shelf Awareness, starred review\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A riveting and high-spirited journey from the brink of death toward life, [\u003ci\u003eFever at Dawn\u003c\/i\u003e] asserts the power of love.\" -- Julie Orringer, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780544944411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d","brand":"P\u0026#233;ter G\u0026#225;rdos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43448922800309,"sku":"9780544944411","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_64879de5-8e21-4ae5-9577-5a2e26cf7c4b.jpg?v=1704214613","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fever-at-dawn-9780544944411","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
