Laura Moriarty
Postwar America is a time of rigid social rules. But when effervescent, seventeen-year-old Nora moves to Florida, she finds paradise—especially after she meets and wins over shy, brilliant Leonard. His mother is welcoming, but his father is suspicious of Nora and her lower-class family.
When coerced into breaking off all contact with Leonard, Nora makes a decision that exiles her from the family she loves, and sets off a chain of secrets and betrayals that will follow her for years.
Laura Moriarty’s Sunlight Finds You explores ideas about family, female desire, sexism, motherhood and prejudice. It’s about our capacity to forgive—ourselves and others—and about finding happiness by refusing to settle for a life that is less than full.
A compelling and warm-hearted love story for readers of Anne Patchett’s Tom Lake and Patrick Ryan’s Buckeye.
PRAISE:
'Perfectly captures the joy and exquisite pain of first love, and the sacrifices that change our lives forever. I adored it.' Toni Jordan, author of Tenderfoot
‘Radiant...What begins as a teenage romance in 1950s Florida becomes an intimate, deeply moving story of separation, sacrifice, and self-determination—and of how early love shapes the lives we carry forward.’ Christina Baker Kline
‘Illuminates the beguiling power of first love through characters whose teenage choices precipitate lifelong consequences.’ Sarah McCoy
‘Laura Moriarty writes with a voice that grabs you from the first page and delights you to the last. Sunlight Finds You is at once captivating, tender, and remarkably attuned to the emotional weather of our time. I love it.’ Tracey Lien, author of All That’s Left Unsaid
