Hi everyone!
I have just submitted this book. Although it just gave the author as
Christian Barnard on the jacket and title page, I think it was on the
copyright page it also said with Siegfried Stander, so that was why I
included both authors when submitting the book. Here is the information.

Long Synopsis:
"... in the dark hour of the human soul it is always half past four in the
morning.
...Many nurses, and doctors, too, for that matter, believed that this hour
of the
night was the low ebb of human life, that it was in the dark hours before
dawn that
most patients gave up and died." AND WILL THIS DOCTOR HAVE TO TELL THE
WOMAN HE LOVES
THAT SHE, TOO, MAY SOON DIE IN THE NIGHT SEASON? In this haunting new novel
by world-famous
heart surgeon Dr. Christiaan Barnard, the themes of love, life?and
death?come together
in an unforgettable story, a story which centers on renowned physician
Charles de
la Porte and Janice Case, the woman he loves. Even the threat of a
malpractice suit,
and the disapproval of his colleagues, cannot bring him to tell her that
she is dying
of cancer. It is a decision which tests his fundamental beliefs about the
purpose
of his profession. It is a decision from which he cannot escape. In this
compellingly
readable book, Christiaan Barnard displays his remarkable gifts as a
novelist and
transmits "the reality experienced daily in a hospital" to the pages of IN
THE NIGHT
SEASON. His hero confronts the most controversial issues facing modern
medicine today?the
treatment of breast cancer, the unnecessary prolonging of life, and the
doctor's
role in euthanasia. In a climax that will not release the reader, Charles
de la Porte
faces a doctor's ultimate responsibility. Filled with the authenticity and
compassion
that could only come from one who has dealt firsthand with life and death,
IN THE
NIGHT SEASON is destined to become one of the most talked about medical
novels in
recent times.
