Thank you to Alcove Press and the author for this gifted amazing book.  Also, thank you to @prhaudio for the #gifted audiobook.

I was deeply moved by this captivating historical fiction novel.  Set in 1944 Los Alamos, it follows the lives of Alice, Caleb, and other scientists working on a mysterious project that ultimately leads to the creation of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Interwoven with the scientific narrative is a poignant love story and the remarkable resilience of a Hiroshima survivor. The author’s meticulous research and inclusion of historical notes enriched my reading experience, and I believe this book will stay with me for a long time.

I enjoyed reading the book while simultaneously listening to the audiobook, as the narrator skillfully brought the characters' emotions to life. 

If you're a fan of historical fiction, mark your calendars for October 8, as this book is definitely worth a read. You will not be disappointed.
