Synopsis

From USA Today bestselling author Paullina Simons comes a fascinating novel of love, betrayal, and the price of passion.Nothing is ever as it seems…

Larissa Stark is many things. Wife, mother, devoted friend, and unhappy. Her seemingly charmed life in a New Jersey suburb should leave her fulfilled and content. Instead, she feels increasingly isolated and empty. But when she has a chance encounter with an intriguing stranger, her idyllic existence is exposed for the sham it is and leads her to question everything she once firmly believed.

As Larissa is faced with one impossible choice after another, she begins to contemplate the unthinkable and struggles with the question that will inevitably change the course of her life: how does one woman follow a divided heart?

Spanning the affluent suburbs of New Jersey, the slums of Manila, and the desolate beauty of the Australian outback, A Song in the Daylight is an unforgettable, powerful story of the bonds that unite us—and the desires that can ultimately drive us apart.

Goodreads review by Natalie on October 09, 2018

Paullina Simons can’t do any wrong in my eyes, this book is no exception. Warning: this book is like crack.

When I sa......more

Goodreads review by Krystal on July 10, 2023

Sweet baby cheeses this was so frustratingly pointless. Bored housewife Larissa embarks on a sordid affair that has shockingly unintended consequences. *eyeroll* WHY did I pick this up?! (Because I loved Tully ok. It was great.) Firstly, Larissa is the worst. Am I suppose to approve of an affair becau......more

Why, oh why did I let all the terrible reviews here on Goodreads sway me from buying this one sooner? Paullina Simon's does not put ONE foot wrong. I also admit i felt a bit intimidated by the size of the thing! But all I can say is, WOW. Like Paullina's other novels I have read (TBH, Tully, Eleven......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on September 06, 2011

I am emotionally wrung out after finishing this one! I'm a great admirer of Paullina Simons - I think I've read all of her books. I especially love Tully. A song in the Daylight takes the reader on a similar angst ridden journey. It's hard to love the heroine - Larissa - who walks away from her husb......more

Goodreads review by Ella on April 09, 2012

I have to be honest and say that I couldn't read the whole thing. The fact that I skipped pages and don't really think that I missed anything that important is proof in itself that the book was unnecessarily long..... I have read another novel by Paulina Simons, forget the name about the girl with ca......more
