The Woman with Two Shadows by Sarah James
Eleanore and Lillian Kaufman are identical twins with opposite personalities. Eleanore is interested in makeup, performing in theatre, and giving singing lessons whereas Lillian has a love of mathematics and physics and has no time for girly pastimes. Lillian has her sights set on getting the Allerton Prize to get into Harvard. Eleanore’s goal is to gain a critical acting role. Unfortunately, the sisters have a falling out and Eleanore goes with her boyfriend, Max, to Oak Ridge Tennessee to work on a top secret project for the military.
After a couple of months, Lillian hasn’t heard from Eleanore and Max calls and asks her to come to Tennessee because Eleanore has gone missing. Will Lillian be able to find her missing sister or will she find her place at Clinton Engineering Works on the top secret project?
This book is based on The Manhattan Project and the military’s race to build an atomic bomb before other countries, even though Germany had already surrendered. I also didn’t know there were experiments conducted on people with radioactive materials!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
