Recenzii
"Brilliantly told . . . Goldstein's style is magnetic, with a poetic economy... She makes the physics fascinating."
Boston Globe
"Chronicles the quest of three physicists seeking to reconcile quantum mechanics and relativity theory ... bewitchingly ethereal ... gracefully deconstructs our contradictory impulses." Publishers Weekly
"Goldstein brings . . . an ability to . . . reveal . . . the large and immutable principles that stand . . . behind even the smallest and most intimate gestures." Elle
"Goldstein certainly writes with knowledge of both science and emotion, shining light on both for her readers." Library Journal Starred
"A brilliant novel by a master of the world of ideas, the English language, and the human heart." -- Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works
"Explores the powerful tension between our desire to know and our desire to love, revealing the dangers inherent in both." Memphis Commercial Appeal —
