Publisher's Summary:
Fever at Dawn is a love story for the ages. Based on the letters of the author's parents, it's a sad and joyous tale that will stay with you long after its happy ending.
In July 1945, Miklós, a Hungarian survivor of Belsen, arrives in a refugee camp in Sweden. He is skin and bone, and has no teeth. The doctor says he has only months to live. But Miklós has other plans. He acquires a list of 117 young Hungarian women who are also in refugee camps in Sweden, and he writes a letter to each of them - obsessively, in his beautiful hand, sitting in the shade of a tree in the hospital garden.
One of those young women, he is sure, will become his wife. In a camp hundreds of kilometres away, Lili reads his letter. Idly, she decides to write back. Letter by letter, the pair fall in love.
In December 1945 they find a way to meet. They have only three days together, and they fall in love all over again. Now they have to work out how to get married while there is still time....
This story really happened.
Members Reviews:
A Great Story, beautifully told
Peter Gardos' book about his father's experience after having survived the concentration after WWII has totally charmed and held me in interest from beginning to end of the book. His communication of his father's most charming way of falling in love with his future wife (the writer's mother) held my interest throughout the book. I believe Peter Gardos is in the process of finishing the film he has made of this enchanting story. I wish him and the film the success it deserves.
I couldn't put this book down
This touching book is very well written and is full of human interest. It shows how love can grow and flourish even amidst horrific circumstances. I could not put this book down.
