For
fans
ofAll
the
Light
We
Cannot
SeeandThe
Women
in
the
Castlecomes
a
riveting
literary
novel
that
is
at
once
an
epic
love
story
and
a
heart-pounding
journey
across
WWI-era
Russia,
about
an
ambitious
young
doctor
and
her
scientist
brother
in
a
race
against
Einstein
to
solve
one
of
the
greatest
mysteries
of
the
universe.
In
Russia,
in
the
summer
of
1914,
as
war
with
Germany
looms
and
the
Czar's
army
tightens
its
grip
on
the
local
Jewish
community,
Miri
Abramov
and
her
brilliant
physicist
brother,
Vanya,
are
facing
an
impossible
decision.
Since
their
parents
drowned
fleeing
to
America,
Miri
and
Vanya
have
been
raised
by
their
babushka,
a
famous
matchmaker
who
has
taught
them
to
protect
themselves
at
all
costs:
to
fight,
to
kill
if
necessary,
and
always
to
have
an
escape
plan.
But
now,
with
fierce,
headstrong
Miri
on
the
verge
of
becoming
one
of
Russia's
only
female
surgeons,
and
Vanya
hoping
to
solve
the
final
puzzles
of
Einstein's
elusive
theory
of
relativity,
can
they
bear
to
leave
the
homeland
that
has
given
them
so
much?
Before
they
have
time
to
make
their
choice,
war
is
declared
and
Vanya
goes
missing,
along
with
Miri's
fiancé.
Miri
braves
the
firing
squad
to
go
looking
for
them
both.
As
the
eclipse
that
will
change
history
darkens
skies
across
Russia,
not
only
the
safety
of
Miri's
own
family
but
the
future
of
science
itself
hangs
in
the
balance.
Grounded
in
real
history
--
and
inspired
by
the
solar
eclipse
of
1914
--A
Bend
in
the
Starsoffers
a
heartstopping
account
of
modern
science's
greatest
race
amidst
the
chaos
of
World
War
I,
and
a
love
story
as
epic
as
the
railways
crossing
Russia.

Barenbaum's
exhilarating
tale."—Publishers
Weekly
"A Bend in the Starsis a vivid and wrenching debut, full not only with the darkness of history but also with hope -- a literary saga for fans ofThe Invisible BridgeandAll the Light We Cannot See. Love and war and Relativity weave together seamlessly, and we're left understanding that there's more than one way for the universe to bend."—Rebecca Makkai, author of the National Book Award Finalist The Great Believers
"With the timelessness of a folk tale, the twists and turns of an adventure story, and the pleasures of a science thriller, A Bend in the Stars both fills the reader's heart and keeps it beating fast. This novel's strong gravitational pull draws you powerfully alongside Miri and Vanya in their harrowing quests, and its emotional payoff makes you never want to let them go."—Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men
"Rachel Barenbaum'sA Bend in the Starsis a beautiful thrill ride steeped in the history of Czarist Russia, from its poverty-ridden shtetls to its roaring trains, and the awesome lure of science. This is a book of history rewritten, dreams realized, and justice served-a book about relativity, war, hatred, and the weight of our assumptions and our great loves."—Michelle Hoover, author of The Quickening
