Lost and Wanted

Popis:

"Freudenberger`s brilliant and compassionate novel takes on the big questions of the universe and proves, again, that she is one of America`s greatest writers." --Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less A LitHub, O Magazine, and Entertainment Weekly `Most Anticipated Book of 2019` A Newsday `New Book to Look Forward To` Listed in Kirkus Reviews` `What to Watch for in 2019` One of Boston.com`s `20 Books to Look Out For in 2019` An emotionally engaging, suspenseful new novel from the best-selling author, told in the voice of a renowned physicist: an exploration of female friendship, romantic love, and parenthood--bonds that show their power in surprising ways. Helen Clapp`s breakthrough work on five-dimensional spacetime landed her a tenured professorship at MIT; her popular books explain physics in plain terms. Helen disdains notions of the supernatural in favor of rational thought and proven ideas. So it`s perhaps especially vexing for her when, on an otherwise unremarkable Wednesday in June, she gets a phone call from a friend who has just died. That friend was Charlotte Boyce, Helen`s roommate at Harvard. The two women had once confided in each other about everything--in college, the unwanted advances Charlie received from a star literature professor; after graduation, Helen`s struggles as a young woman in science, Charlie`s as a black screenwriter in Hollywood, their shared challenges as parents. But as the years passed, Charlie became more elusive, and her calls came less and less often. And now she`s permanently, tragically gone. As Helen is drawn back into Charlie`s orbit, and also into the web of feelings she once had for Neel Jonnal--a former college classmate now an acclaimed physicist on the verge of a Nobel Prize winning discovery--she is forced to question the laws of the universe that had always steadied her mind and heart. Suspenseful, perceptive, deeply affecting, Lost and Wanted is a story of friends and lovers, lost and found, at the most defining moments of their lives.
