| 'In an ingenious blend of fact and fiction,
Josef Rotblat, the only scientist to resign from the Manhattan Project
to develop the atom bomb, stands alongside the fictional Zsygmond von
Fischer, a Hungarian-born physicist who is part of the Los Alamos team.
The novel is narrated by Fischer's niece, Miriam. Miriam, born on the
day of Hiroshima was bombed, is asked to write the biography of her uncle
after his death. As Miriam delves into her uncle's life, we become aware
that she is more involved than she at first admits'. - Ian Critchley,
