Description
Margrete Ecker has a strong will, but a weak heart; she’s going to need a new one.
And one day in October, when a young man dazzled by the autumn sun crashes off the road, that’s exactly what she gets. His heart becomes hers. His life is over, hers begins anew.
What does it do to a person to receive the heart of someone who had a whole lifetime left to live?
And what about the parents who lost their son, but gave his heart away? What can they rightfully expect, or even demand, of the woman who has their son’s heart beating in her chest?
My Catalogue of Men is Margrete’s story as told by six men.

REVIEWS:
“Helene Uri lets some of the men around Margrete tell the whole story. The protagonist herself says nothing at all, at least not directly, and this move works extremely well. […] I marvel at Uri’s precision and her powers of observation.”
