Book Description:
New York, 1945 - Sara Smythe, a young, beautiful and intelligent woman, ready to make her own way in the big city attends her brothers 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.

Review by Margaret 
Can you really fall in love with someone so passionately and all consuming in just a few short hours of knowing them? Sarah and Jack do – but at what cost?

I have never read a more powerful, beautiful, yet tragic love story that literally took my breath away. With characters so vivid they become your friends, whom you dread saying goodbye to at the finish. Compulsive is the only word to describe The Pursuit of Happiness.

A book you cannot put down. I loved it.
