For den unge Kirsty har svømning altid været en trøst og opmuntring i svære tider. I kølvandet på en personlig tragedie i sommeren 1939 forlader hun sit hjemland Skotland for at undervise på en skole i Budapest. Hun rejser med tog gennem et uroligt Europa til det neutrale Ungarn i håb om et liv i sikkerhed. Men så bryder Anden Verdenskrig ud.Alligevel finder hun sig hurtigt til rette i sit nye liv, og snart møder hun Anna, en jødisk studerende. Deres venskab fører til nye muligheder for at træne svømning, noget der bringer dem tættere sammen og giver dem en chance for at overleve, da krigen til sidst truer med at rive dem fra hinanden.Britiske Gill Thompson har en MA i Creative Writing og underviste i engelsk i næsten fyrre år, før hun gjorde alvor af en gammel drøm og blev forfatter. Siden debuten med Verdener imellem os har hun vundet et stort og dedikeret publikum til sine hjertegribende historiske romaner.

I en jernlunge på Blegdamshospitalet ligger en ung, poliosyg pige, hun er lammet og afhængig af maskinen, som hjælper hende med at trække vejret. På et børnehjemt i en skov uden for Budapest vokser et navnløst barn op og får kaldenavnet Dreng, men Dreng er ikke som de andre. Fanget i hver sin ensomhed længes de to unge mennesker efter kærlighed og frihed, og på tværs af tid og rum opstår et gådefuldt og ubrydeligt bånd imellem dem."Jernlungen" er en roman med historiske og fantastiske elementer; en original og gribende fortælling om køn og krop, kærlighed og frigørelse og om retten til at leve livet, som man selv vil - og som den, man er. Den ene del af handlingen foregår i København i 1950'erne, mens den anden del udspiller sig uden for Budapest i årene 1913–1917.
