Sinossi
Manhattan, Thanksgiving Eve, 1945. The war was over, and Eric Smythe's party was in full swing. All his clever Greenwich Village friends were there. So too was his sister Sara -- an independent, canny young woman, starting to make her way in the big city. And then in walked a gatecrasher, Jack Malone -- a U. S. Army journalist just back from a defeated Germany, and a man whose world-view did not tally with that of Eric and his friends. Set amidst the dynamic optimism of postwar New York and the subsequent nightmare of the McCarthy witch-hunts, The Pursuit of Happiness is a great tragic love story; a tale of divided loyalties, decisive moral choices, and the random workings of destiny.

Recensione
'A compulsive read' -- Kate Atkinson
'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
L'autore
Douglas Kennedy was born in Manhattan. His father was a commodities broker and his mother worked at NBC. In 1974 Douglas went to Trinity College, Dublin as a guest student. On graduating he returned to Dublin and started a co-operative theatre company with a friend. This led him to being hired to run the Abbey Theatre's second house, The Peacock. It was as this time that he began to write. At the age of 28 Douglas resigned from his job at the theatre to write full time. He acquired an agent, and was given a small advance to write a travel book, Beyond the Pyramids. Two more non-fiction titles and a novel followed. Then in the late eighties Douglas and his wife moved to London and The Big Picture was published to great acclaim and a career as a bestselling author was secured. Douglas's books have been translated into sixteen different languages.
