Book ID/图书代码： 06400011B49152
English Summary/英文概要： A sweeping novel from the bestselling author of HOTEL JULIET. Catherine never knew her father. A Polish exile, he disappeared when she was a small child, leaving her only a pair of binoculars and a lifelong love of the stars.
Now in her forties, she and her partner lead a settled academic life in Cambridge—until one day she receives a letter from an American film-maker who has uncovered an extraordinary story.
Moving between present day Krakow and wartime Poland, The Beautiful Truth is an unforgettable novel of love, loyalty and betrayal.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 暢銷小說《皓泰•朱莉》作者的最新真情小說。
凱薩琳從沒見過自己的父親。她父親從波蘭流亡出來後，在她幼年時就消失不見了，只留給她一個雙瞳望眼鏡和對星空永遠的熱愛。
現在小女孩已經變成40歲的中年人，在劍橋做老師，過著安定的生活。一天，她收到蓋著波蘭郵戳的信。寄信者是一位到克拉科夫尋找嬸嬸戰時經歷的美國電影製作人。這位製作人搜尋之旅的結果不但讓凱薩琳瞭解波蘭的歷史，也慢慢認識到她自己的過去。她的發現改變了她的生活，她從未想到會有這樣的改變。
故事在現代的克拉科夫和戰時的波蘭兩個時空來回變換，《美麗的真相》講述了一個歷史大事件對個人生命的衝擊，充滿真情，感動至深，編織了一個關於愛、忠誠和背叛的難忘故事。（Celia）

“非洲與飛行，紅土地與寬闊的天空。一場愛戀將要驅趕這些一月般的憂傷氣氛。席武德作為一個觀察力靈敏的作家和感情敏感的詩人，用語言和對天空的愛戀創造出各種貼切的隱喻，她塑造出的夢幻世界豐富、誘人。”
——《每日郵報》（對《皓泰•朱莉》的讚譽）
’Clearly well-researched and engrossing narrative ... beautifully written’ -- Bookbag.co.uk ’Moving and insightful ... Young, courageous and frightened Krystyna in 1939 seems just as alive as confused, middle-aged Catherine in present day. Though the two never met, how their stories intertwine reveals the tragic yet beautiful truth of secret pasts’ -- Press Association Praise for Hotel Juliet: ’Africa and aviation, red dust and wide, white skies ... this romance will soon dispel those January blues ... A thrillingly observant writer and crafter of highly sensual prose, Seaward employs the language and lore of the skies to considerable metaphorical effect ... its richly descriptive escapism is seductive’ -- Daily Mail ’Hotel Juliet is a breathtaking work and a deeply moving elegy to the transitory nature of family life’ -- Scotland on Sunday ’A gripping evocation of love and passion amid the wild African landscape’ -- Sainsbury’s Magazine ’This poignant epic is a real page-turner ... a mesmerising, well-crafted novel’ -- Birmingham Evening Mail ’A cinematic novel of breadth and beauty, love and aviation. Superbly written, the author’s descriptions, particularly of masculinity, smells and voodoo are possessed of an almost ineffable resonance.’ -- The Argus ’Hotel Juliet very quietly binds a spell on the reader and I found it unusual and absorbing’ -- Shropshire Star ’A poignant love story that spans two decades and two continents’ -- E.Motion
