Only fifty, he has been given six months to live. But a tragic accident involving a teenager and a motorcycle gives the university professor a second chance. He receives the boy's heart in a transplant, and by this miracle of science, two strangers are forever linked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough Patrick's body accepts his new heart, his old life seems to reject him. Bored by the things that once enticed him, he begins to look for meaning in his experience. Discovering that his donor was a local boy named Drew Beamish, he becomes intensely curious about Drew's life and the influences that shaped him-from the eighteenth-century ancestor involved in a labor riot to the bleak beauty of the Cambridgeshire countryside in which he was raised. Patrick longs to know the story of this heart that is now his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this intriguing and deeply absorbing story, Jill Dawson weaves together the lives and loves of three vibrant characters connected by fate to explore questions of life after death, the nature of the soul, the unseen forces that connect us, and the symbolic power of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Dawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062348807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2015 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2015 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDawson, Jill:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJill Dawson is the author of \u003cem\u003eTrick of the Light\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMagpie\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFred and Edie\u003c\/em\u003e, which was short-listed for the Whitbread Novel Award and the Orange Prize, \u003cem\u003eWild Boy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWatch Me Disappear\u003c\/em\u003e, which was long-listed for the Orange Prize, \u003cem\u003eThe Great Lover\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLucky Bunny\u003c\/em\u003e.
