A heart-wrenching novel that captures the love affair between two unforgettable people- Ingrid Bergman and Robert Capa

June, 1945.

In newly liberated Paris, battle-ravaged photographer Robert Capa is drowning his sorrows. After ten years of recording horror and violence, he longs for for a diversion.

Ingrid Bergman

has been sent to entertain the troops and when she walks into the Ritz Hotel,Capa is enchanted. From the moment he slips a mischievous invitation to dinner under her door, the two find themselves helplessly attracted. Ingrid,

tired of her passionless marriage, and her controlling film studio,

is desperate for freedom and excitement.

And Capa is willing to oblige. Dinners in cafes he can't afford. Night walks along the Seine. Dancing barefoot in nightclubs. Trysts in hotel rooms. He brings her back to life and she fills the hole inside him.

With everything at stake, both Capa and Ingrid are presented with terrible choices.

Full of the romantic glamour of 40s Paris and Hollywood, Seducing Ingrid Bergman tells the heart-wrenching story of the secret affair between the iconic Casablanca star and the famous photographer.

Reviews for Seducing Ingrid Bergman

Brilliant and glamorous Alex Jones, The One Show Delightful and engrossing. [Greenhalgh] slips with utter authenticity under the skin of a female character. Marvellous piece of writing -- Barbara Erskine, author of Whispers in the Sand Greenhalgh artfully shuffles the few known facts to create a rich, lyrical novel that manages their affair without a trace of sentimentality GQ Greenhalgh's characters are sharply drawn, in particular the contrast between Bergman's inner turmoil and the slick celebrity seen by the public. Capas's self-image is equally conflicted, but together the two conjure a delicious tale of illicit freedom and, ultimately, thwarted love Financial Times
