Mark Helprin's charming and sweeping book asks a simple question: can love and honor overcome all? NY in 1947 glows with postwar energy. Harry Copeland, at the very top paratrooper who fought behind foe lines in Europe, returns home to run the family business. In a single, magical face on the Staten Island ferry, the young singer and heiress Catherine Thomas Hale falls for him instantly but too later to avoid her engagement to a much elderly man. Harry and Catherine go after each other in a relationship played out out in postwar America's Broadway theaters, Long Island mansions, the offices of financiers, and the haunts of gangsters. Catherine's selection of Harry over her longtime fiancé endangers Harry's livelihood - and eventually threatens his life. Entrancing in its lyricism, In Sun rays and in Darkness so powerfully attracts you into NY at the dawn of the modern age that, such as a vivid desire, you won't want to leave. About the author: Mark Helprin was informed at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, and Oxford. He dished up in the Israeli government and the British Merchant Navy. He's the acclaimed writer of Winter's Tale and numerous other works.
