Universe of Two by Stephen P. Kiernan
4.0
'Universe of Two' was beautifully written and very compelling but it spent way too much time on building up to the making of the bomb and their relationship rather than the redemption that both of them claim to seek in the book's description below:
"Ahe war’s end, Charlie receives a scholarship to pursue a PhD in physics at Stanford—an opportunity he and Brenda hope will allow them a fresh start. But the past proves inescapable. All any of his new colleagues can talk about is the bomb, and what greater atomic weapons might be on the horizon. Haunted by guilt, Charlie and Brenda leave Stanford and decide to dedicate the rest of their lives to making amends for the evil he helped to birth into the world."
There were only 2 chapters on this post-war redemption and it would have been a more compelling story to read if this was more of the focus.
All in all, I did like this book and would definitely recommend it!
