A Washington Post Best Novel of the Year

An NPR Best Mystery of the Year

This suspenseful novel from the New York Times bestselling author of City of Light follows a photojournalist as she takes on an assignment that will involve blackmail, espionage, and murder--all in the early days of America's involvement in World War II.

In the anxious and uncertain days after Pearl Harbor, beautiful, talented Life magazine photojournalist Claire Shipley is assigned to cover the clinical testing of a new medication at the renowned Rockefeller Institute in New York. Still grieving the death of her young daughter from an infection, Claire is shocked by what she finds there: the doctors and researchers are attempting to cure fatal infections with a little-known, temperamental medicine made from green mold, which they're calling penicillin--and that may be just the beginning of their breakthroughs.

As the nation plunges into war, Claire begins an intense love affair with James Stanton, an Institute physician given the difficult, top-secret task of coordinating penicillin research for the military. Meanwhile Claire's long-estranged father, a self-made millionaire entrepreneur, is realizing the potential of the new mold-derived medications to transform the very nature of human existence.

When James's sister and colleague dies under suspicious circumstances, the stakes involved in the antibiotic breakthrough become starkly clear. Caught between the extremes of war and greed, Claire finds her new relationship challenged in ways she could never have predicted.

At once a thriller, a love story, a family saga, and a window into the tumultuous home front during World War II, A FIERCE RADIANCE will captivate readers.

I'm very pleased with the purchase of this bag
Color: Pink
The bag is made of a very subtle pink, supple leather. It seems to be of good quality and I hope that over time, with wear, this turns out to be true. It's a good size -- not too small, not huge, but just enough to fit plenty of necessities for a day or evening out. The style is sleek and uncomplicated, making it versatile enough to be worn on casual days as well as a night out. The top is secured with a smooth-running zipper that keeps everything safe yet easily accessible. The shoulder strap is adjustable to various lengths including one that is very long which is my preference. The handles are wrapped in matching leather and very comfortable. The only improvements I'd make to the bag is the addition of brass feet on the bottom and I'd make the zipper pocket on the outside back of the bag slightly wider so my phone would fit into it. Overall, I like it very much and have already recommended it to family and friends.

Affordable quality!
Color: Sorrel
This bag is beautiful! Just bought it for my early September trip to Newport. Spot on for color early Fall. Soft and stylish. I opted to buy silk scarfs in various colors and they looked great. May start doing my own videos! Nice large quality zipper. Affordable. Great for travel due to it's neutral color. Great gift - neutral. I purchased the smaller size and it was very generous in size. Great for a day out - where you may need a few extras with you. But dressy enough for evening - especially with a silk scarf wrapped on the handle. Includes crossbody strap if you'd like that.
