Heaven Has No Favorites

Racing driver Clerfayt is a man who lives for speed and risk, with little thought for the future. While recovering in a Swiss sanatorium, he meets Lillian Dunkerque, a woman who is seriously ill and wants to live fully in whatever time she has. They travel together through Paris, Italy and the Riviera, drawn into a world of fast cars, luxury and fleeting pleasure. The novel considers how awareness of death can sharpen love and freedom, and how two very different people face uncertainty together.
