Jan, a crystal glassblower, falls into depression after retiring. On his birthday, a mysterious stranger unexpectedly brings magic into his life. Jan is offered the chance to return to the glassworks to teach students and finds himself participating in a romance show, where he meets and falls for Maria.
Reinvigorated, he throws himself boldly into life again, but his enthusiasm sometimes leads him astray, stretching the truth and risking the relationships he values most. When his mistakes come to light, Jan faces the possibility of losing those he loves.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Karkonosze Mountains, where the author grew up, Crystal Heart is a tender, magical story about rediscovery, second chances, and the courage it takes to open one’s heart—no matter the stage of life.
