The critically acclaimed bestseller from the number one bestselling author of The Moment and A Special Relationship. A powerful romantic novel set in the tumultuous world of post-war America. New York, 1945 - Sara Smythe, a young, beautiful and intelligent woman, ready to make her own way in the big city, attends her brother's Thanksgiving Eve party. As the party gets into full swing, in walks Jack Malone, a US Army journalist back from a defeated Germany and a man unlike any Sara has ever met before - one who is destined to change Sara's future forever. But finding love isn't the same as finding happiness - as Sara and Jack soon find out. In post-war America chance meetings aren't always as they seem, and people's choices can often have profound repercussions. Sara and Jack find they are subject to forces beyond their control and that their destinies are formed by more than just circumstance. In this world of intrigue and emotional conflict, Sara must fight to survive - against Jack, as much as for him. In this mesmerising tale of longing and betrayal, The Pursuit of Happiness is a great tragic love story; a tale of divided loyalties, decisive moral choices, and the random workings of destiny.

  1. Ett möte, ett löfte, ett svek och en återförening...
    Anna Nilsson, 17 november 2013

    Ett möte, ett löfte, ett svek och en återförening många år senare. Som alltid när det är Douglas Kennedy, råkar huvudpersonen i ett moraliskt dilemma, där moral och ansvar står mot hjärtats längtan.
    En stark skildring om en kvinnas val.

Whippman argues persuasively that happiness is something that emerges from the quality of relationships we have with others * TLS * This is the novel against which the rest of the year's output demands to be judged * Express on Sunday * Kennedy cannot help but write grippingly, and he weaves threads of love and betrayal into a thrillingly masterful ending * Observer * This superb story of divided loyalties and personal tragedy will heave you pinned to your seat * Woman & Home * Curl up and enjoy * Spectator *
