Trinity

Louisa Hall

'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.
