Doctor Alexander Corell's life fell apart the day his wife and children were killed. He turned to the bottle, which first softened the edges and then brought on the darkness. Soon his practice had dwindled to just a few unsavoury patients. As time sharpened the pain of living, Corell decided to make one final journey, back to Yugoslavia where he'd last known happiness. And there, in a country steeped in memories, he meets Danica. Half his age, burning with the light he had long since lost. She loves him with a reckless, summer-bright intensity. And for the first time in years, Corell feels the stirrings of something almost like life. A gripping historical romance of second chances and enduring love, perfect for fans of Pen Jenoff and Tatiana de Rosnay.
