"READERS WILL FIND IT HARD TO RESIST TURNING THE PAGES" - TELEGRAPH"Books are often described as "page-turners" but this is very true of this one. Once started the reader will find it very hard to put down." SOUTHSIDE NEWS " Plenty of suspense and drama ... Very enjoyable." - WOMAN'S WAY "Browne has a talent for drawing us into her characters and situations ... this is a real page turner." - IRISH NEWS On a summer night in 1963, a young American soldier, Lieutenant Marc Gaines, walks into the London bistro where a sweet and shy eighteen-year-old English girl, Marian Barnard, is a waitress. Like the song 'Strangers In The Night', it is love at first sight for both of them. In Massachusetts, Jacqueline Castineau, rich and beautiful, is still obsessed by her years as a young unit commander in the French Resistance against the Nazis, which turned her into a merciless killer. Now Jacqueline has only one love in her life, and it is not her husband whom she views with indifference, but Marc, her wonderful Marc, whom she is not willing to lose to some two-bit English waitress. Opening in Paris, but set primarily in London and Massachusetts, Book One of 'Ghosts in Sunlight' is a fascinating and tremendous love story clouded by the flashbacks and consequences of a World War now past, and foreshadowed by an uncertain future. "The author's themes in this fabulous book range from young and tender love, to old and bitter hatreds. In a time when the world was excitedly influenced by the cultured intellectualism of the new America president John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. "The story is poignantly enriched by the music and popular songs of the sixties and gloriously multicultural. The pace is fast, and the plot is flawless. Every character strides through the pages alive, vivid, and believable. A poignant, sensual, and overpowering story of love and war. For this novel by Gretta Curran Browne and its terrific sequel in Book 2 - `the only word is wow' "-- Reviewed by READERS' FAVORITE.

A riveting start
When I began reading Marian and Marc I didn't realize that rather than a fill in book it was to become an intriguing beginning to a wonderful a nd captivating series.
