Description

'Those looking for the next Lessons in Chemistry - a story of ferociously bright, feisty women holding their own in a man's world - may have found it ... this is a rich read, heartbreaking, engrossing and intellectually stimulating' New Zealand Listener

'Sweeping and intimate … a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken' SHELBY VAN PELT, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures

'A magnificent, spellbinding love story' CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of Broken Country
_____

1976, Rhode Island.

Lily Webb has spent years trying to build a steady, predictable life, far from her hometown marred by tragedy and the sister she cannot seem to save from herself.

Jane was always the brilliant one: fierce, complicated and drawn to the mysteries of the universe. But after their mother's death, Jane's gifts became entangled with addiction, pulling the sisters into a cycle of love, guilt and heartbreak that neither could escape.

Lily has found comfort in a quiet marriage to a devoted scientist, one who opened her eyes to the beauty of the natural world and offered her safety and stability. But when her first love, a boy she lost under devastating circumstances, returns, Lily is forced to confront the past she thought she had buried.

As old wounds reopen, and her fragile bond with Jane grows ever more tenuous, Lily must navigate the tension between the life she's built and the life she once imagined for herself.

A decades-spanning tale rich with questions of faith, science and the ties that hold us together, Laws of Love and Logic is a compelling, emotionally gripping novel about sisterhood, forgiveness and the complicated nature of love.
