About The Hasty Heart: It's 1945, in Burma, during the waning days of World War II, sits a military hospital. It is stifling sti-fling and every bed is draped in netting to protect from the swarms of mosquitoes. Margaret, the nurse, cares for a group of soldiers that spend their time bickering, teasing and counting the days until they can go home. All of them but one - Lachlan, the ailing, cantankerous Scotsman that the other men have been ordered to befriend. Proving easier said than done, "Lachie" is unfriendly, solitary, and unused un-used to friendships. "I put nae value on the human hu-man animal," he says, and his treatment of others soon bears this out. Can the men crack his resolve and get him to warm to them and, especially to, Margaret? Mar-garet? Between the cold realities of war and the warm depths of human emotion, lies the hasty heart. With a surprisingly healthy dose of laughter, The .
