<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: London: Penguin Group, 2012.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>THE TRUE STORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL <i>CASABLANCA</i> STAR, THE WORLD'S GREATEST WAR PHOTOGRAPHER, AND THE SECRET LOVE AFFAIR THAT WOULD CHANGE THEIR LIVES FOREVER.</p><p>June 1945. When Ingrid Bergman walks into the lobby of the Ritz hotel in Paris, Capa is enchanted. From the moment he slips a mischievous invitation to dinner under her door, the two find themselves helplessly attracted. Played out against the cafés and nightclubs of Paris and the parties and studios of Hollywood, they pursue an intense and increasingly reckless affair.</p><p> But the light-hearted Capa, who likes nothing more than to spend his mornings reading in the tub and his afternoons at the racetrack, is not all that he seems. And Ingrid offers the promise of salvation to a man haunted by the horrors of war, his father's suicide, and the death of a former lover for which he blames himself. Addicted to risk, Capa must wrestle his devils, including gambling and drink, and resist an impulse to go off and photograph yet another war.</p><p> Meanwhile, Ingrid, trapped in a passionless marriage and with a seven-year-old daughter to bring up, must court scandal and risk compromising her Hollywood career and saintly reputation if their love is to survive. With their happiness and identities at stake, both Capa and Ingrid are presented with terrible choices.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>Seducing Ingrid Bergman</i> rapturously depicts the doomed love affair of two icons of the twentieth century . . .

Marvellous piece of writing." --<i>Barbara Erskine, author of Whispers in the Sand</i></p><p>"A delicious tale of illicit freedom and, ultimately, thwarted love." --<i>Financial Times (London)</i></p><p>"This finely wrought study in artistic and romantic passion is remarkable for its explicit depiction of the devastation left in the wake of selfishness." --<i>Publishers Weekly on Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>CHRIS GREENHALGH</b> is the prize-winning author of three volumes of poetry, a novel, and wrote the screenplay for <i>Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky</i>, which occupied the prestigious closing slot at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
