Sunlight Finds You

‘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

‘Moriarty has an unusual gift for voice, a spark that can turn a novel about ordinary events into something compelling…A rich, rewarding slice of history that should remind us how important it is for women to have choices of all kinds.’

Kirkus [starred]

‘This book’s poignantly written characters and deep discussion points make it a must-purchase.’

Library Journal [starred]

‘Readers will fall for the delightful and well-rounded Nora and Leonard as much as they do for each other.’

Publishers Weekly

‘[A] novel to sink in to rather than race through….The era’s rigid social expectations are key to the story, so class and gender issues feel integral rather than tacked on.’

Book Page

‘A poignant story…About desperate choices, secrets, shame, and the assumptions we make when we can’t or won’t communicate.’

Booklist

‘Sunlight Finds You will appeal to fans of character-driven stories, outstanding historical fiction, and elevated writing.’

The Buzz Magazines

‘The kind of book that makes you lean closer, then hold your breath as the beauty and betrayal unfold. I couldn’t stop reading. I couldn’t stop hoping. What an extraordinary novel!’
