'Audaciously tackles life's most formative experiences: love and loss' Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World Behind 'Both gripping and deeply felt, as breath-taking as it is mind-bending' Rachel Khong, New York Times bestselling author of Real Americans 'Lightbreakers is compassionate and prismatic, an intellectual adventure as well as a deeply human meditation' Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists In the beginning, there was happiness. Maya, an artist obsessed with the nature of beauty, and Noah, a quantum physicist preoccupied by the mysteries of the universe, found in each other a shared curiosity about the world. But beneath the surface of their happy marriage is a third rail: Serena, the lost child that Noah had with his ex-wife Eileen. One day Noah gets a call from an eccentric billionaire, asking him to participate in a clandestine project aiming to unravel the secrets of time and consciousness. The couple agrees to relocate to the Janus Lab, deep in the desert, where Noah finds himself drawn into a dangerous kind of time travel that could result in seeing Serena again. As Noah delves into this groundbreaking, fringe work, his past begins to overtake him. And when his ex-wife Eileen joins the project, Maya embarks on a journey back to her own past, one that takes her to Japan, to her family, and to a formative lover who once shattered her heart. As Noah, Maya, and Eileen grapple with the balance between holding on and letting go, new information emerges that the Janus Lab might not be exactly what it seems.
