'Brilliant . . . Hall has shaped a richly imagined, tremendously
moving fictional work. Its genius is not to explain but to embody
the science and politics that shaped Oppenheimer's life . . .The
resulting quantum portrait feels both true and dazzlingly
unfamiliar' New York Times J. Robert Oppenheimer - the father of
the atomic bomb - was a brilliant scientist, a champion of liberal
causes, and a complex and often contradictory character. In Louisa
Hall's kaleidoscopic novel, seven fictional characters bear witness
to his life. From a secret service agent who tailed him in San
Francisco, to the young lover of a colleague in Los Alamos, to a
woman fleeing McCarthyism who knew him on St. John, as these men
and women fall into the orbit of a brilliant but mercurial mind at
work, all consider his complicated legacy while also uncovering
deep and often unsettling truths about their own lives. In Trinity,
Louisa Hall has crafted an explosive story about what it means to
truly know someone, and about the secrets we keep from the world
and from ourselves.
