The beautiful truth
by Belinda Seaward
Catherine knew little of her father, a Polish exile. He had disappeared when she was twelve, leaving her a pair of binoculars and a lifelong love of the stars. Now in her forties, she lives an academic life in Cambridge with a brilliant yet troubled mathematician. Ordinary life is interrupted the day Catherine is contacted by an American film-maker who is in Krakow to research the wartime experiences of his Polish aunt. What Konrad has uncovered will send Catherine on a voyage of discovery not only into Poland's past, but also into her own history and her own heart. And what she uncovers there will change her life in ways she could not possibly have imagined.
