Book Description

June 2010

" Scarred Hearts is a masterpiece. . . . It is a book to live with, to read again and again, as only great literature demands us to." Paul Bailey

"Elegant and powerful." Financial Times

"It is a matter for rejoicing that this small masterpiece should survive to delight readers of another century." Daily Telegraph

It is Paris in the 1930s and Emanuel, a Romanian student, finds himself dangerously ill with spinal tuberculosis. Sent to a sanatorium near the coast, he remains wrapped in a full body cast for a year. But while he endures his terrible cure, he unexpectedly falls in love.
