Catching the Sunlight

3.5/5 ( ratings)

“We had disturbed the man’s concentration, for he glanced round curiously. I was totally unprepared for what happened next… I fell in love.”

This is the tale of two great love stories.

There’s Lucia, a young optimist looking to make her mark with her new biography, and falling for David, a man who seems irrationally against the project.

And there’s the subject of her biography, Charles, a talented artist with a mysterious past who had a love affair with a dazzling countess.

Both love stories seem doomed.

David’s lack of faith in Lucia sours their relationship, turning them almost into enemies.

But Charles has much bigger problems – his love story takes place in Budapest in World War Two and terrible forces are at work.

Somewhere in this book lies a cruel betrayal.

Somewhere in this book lies a tender love story.

Perhaps Charles’ artwork, kept after his death, holds the key to both.

Lucia’s job is to find that key and unlock the truth, with or without David’s help…

Set against the backdrop of World War II Budapest, Catching the Sunlight is heartfelt tale of true love.
