THE LAST PATIENT is a sweeping historical novel that captures one family's struggle for love, survival, and identity under the grip of Communism in Romania. Spanning fifty years of political upheaval, this saga explores how ordinary lives are shaped-and sometimes shattered-by extraordinary times. Kostea and Clara meet and fall in love shortly before World War II. As they get married, build careers, and raise a son, the world around them changes rapidly-and often violently. From the two-bedroom apartment they are "patriotically" forced to share with another family, to Bucharest's rampant food shortages, Romania's Cold War history plays out in their day-to-day lives. Kostea, a charming yet domineering surgeon, craves control in a place where party loyalists hold the reins of power. His pursuit of respect and authority threatens his promising medical career and his relationships at home, risking Clara's love. While the temptation to break through the Iron Curtain is omnipresent, defection to the West comes with its own uncertainties. Ultimately, The Last Patient is a poignant exploration of the eternal tension between personal aspirations and love.
