In 1965, on a small island in the South Pacific, a group of
astronomers gather to witness the passing of a comet, but when a
young boy dies during a meteor shower, the lives of the scientists
and their loved ones change in subtle yet profound ways. Denise
struggles for respect in her professional life, married Eli becomes
increasingly attracted to Denise and her quixotic mind, and young
Lydia attempts to escape the scientists' long-casting shadows.
Andrew Sean Greer's remarkable and sweeping first novel is an
exploration of chances taken and lost, of love found and broken,
and of time's subtle gravitational pull on the lives of everyday
and extraordinary people.
