{"product_id":"the-pursuit-of-happiness-a-novel","title":"The Pursuit of Happiness: A Novel","description":"This international bestseller tells the “romantic, sweeping” (Library Journal) love story of Sara and Jack as they learn to understand their differences in postwar New York.\n\nManhattan, Thanksgiving eve, 1945.\n\nThe war is 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, outspoken young woman, starting to make her way in the big city. And then in walked Jack Malone, a US Army journalist just back from a defeated Germany, a man whose world view was vastly different than that of Eric and his friends.\n\nThis chance meeting between Sara and Jack and the choices they both made in the wake of it would eventually have profound consequences, both for themselves and for those closest to them for decades afterwards.\n\nSet amidst the dynamic optimism of postwar New York and the subsequent nightmare of the McCarthy era, The Pursuit of Happiness is a great, tragic love story; a tale of divided loyalties, decisive moral choices and the random workings of destiny.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1439199124\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1439199124.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kennedy, Douglas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
