Description
From the Booker-shortlisted author of The Overstory and Bewilderment.
'A love story of charm and substance, brimming over with ideas, yet anchored in emotional truth.' — SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
In 1957, brilliant biologist Stuart Ressler sets out to crack the genetic code. Yet his efforts are sidetracked by other, more complex codes — social, moral, musical, and spiritual — as he falls in love with a member of his research team.
Years later, another young man and woman investigate a different mystery: why did the promising Ressler suddenly vanish from the world of science?
Strand by strand, these two love stories intertwine in a double helix of desire in an enthralling tale about new love and the mysteries of science.
