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...

'Dramatic, compassionate and deeply moving.' Jennifer Clement, author of award-winning novel PRAYERS FOR THE STOLEN

Kritikerstimmen

An incredible gem of a novel, based on a true story. I loved it.
A magnificent novel, tonally flawless, its humour defiant in the face of vast tragedy.
Dramatic, compassionate and deeply moving.
Powerful
A riveting and high-spirited journey from the brink of death toward life...With courage, humor, and unfailing emotional honesty, Peter Gardos illuminates the incredible power of the human will.
The impossibly moving story of two damaged youths who forge from their amour fou a love that will light the decades ahead. With playfulness and charm, with iron conviction, Fever at Dawn will convince you that it’s possible not only to survive the worst of human hell, but to transcend it.
Books don’t make me cry. Fever At Dawn did. Drawing you in with pathos and playful wit, it squeezes the heart with sorrow and leaves it expanded with joy and love.
Poignant, uplifting, tender, affectionate
Tenderly uplifting
Absorbing . . . a touching account of a strange courtship
