About the Book
A fascinating fictionalized account of the life of Charlie Fisk, Universe of Two tells the story of a gifted mathematician who was drafted against his morals into the Manhattan Project. With his musician wife, Fisk spends his postwar life seeking redemption—a riveting historical drama with a poignant love story.
*Review Quotes:*
"Kiernan recreates the zeitgeist of America leading up to the atomic bomb on a national and personal level: the eager anticipation of wartime's end, the grimly fascinating science, and the growing sense of guilt and dread.
Simultaneously tender and hard-hitting, this riveting story offers much to reflect upon." *—**Booklist*
"Stephen Kiernan has pulled off the nearly impossible, reminding us by wrapping a war story in a love story that although we hold the power for our own extinction, we also have the power to redeem, heal, and save. The most tender, terrifying, relevant book you'll read this year." —*Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family*
Hope to see you on Tuesday!
