You feel everything even if you don’t want to. The writing is very powerful and the brilliance of it comes from the fact that most things are not spelled out, nothing is overexplained. And we feel!!! We feel the love, we feel the loss, we feel all the emotions possible when someone finds then loses the love of their life. The love here comes from all the pain, all the heartache we experience, all the emotions the writer’s beautiful words elicit in us. The kind of love we experience here doesn’t come from big confessions, lengthy, detailed sex scenes, grand gestures. A Love Song for the Sad Man in the White Coat is a unique, rare gem of a love story I will never forget. What Roe Horvat has given us is exactly that and I can’t be more grateful to him. I love Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, I love Valmount from Dangerous affairs, I love unique, out of the ordinary love stories. See, I have a very strange kind of taste. Some scenes will make you think, think back to your past loves, people you lost, people you left, some will make you catch your breath, and tear up at times. This story is true poetry at its best manifested in the form of a novel.

WHAT A STORY!!! Now I am sitting here with tears dried on my cheeks and I am trying to find out how to put all my feels and thoughts into words about one of the best love stories I have read in my whole life… But when his friends begin drifting away, his beloved protégé becomes independent, and the man who bereaved Simon of his precious sanity might return… Simon’s mind and body stop responding to his impressive willpower. He’s managed so far – as long as he is needed, as long as his work makes a difference, Simon can scrape together enough strength to get up in the morning and run off the nightmares.

Since that day, every minute of Simon’s life has been a struggle to remain sane, functioning. His ill-advised, secret affair with a student left Simon deeply wounded. Not many know of that one time in the past when The Cruel Doctor Frost lost his cool. And sanity can be found in work, restraint, and self-control. His students call him The Cruel Doctor Frost not because he’s unkind, but because of his unwavering, ice-cold composure. This love was a flesh-eating monster, sharp-clawed and evil-eyed, ravishing his mind with medieval cruelty.ĭr Simon Mráz is a respected specialist and lecturer at the Charles University in Prague. Whether it was his Catholic upbringing or the poetry he’d read – Simon had thought that true love would be uplifting, fulfilling, that it would give a meaning to his loitering, and add joy to his leisure. Simon had always expected love to feel different than this. TITLE: A Love Song for the Sad Man in the White Coat
