Lost and Wanted : A novel - Thryft

Grieving physicist confronts the inexplicable.

If you're intrigued by the intersection of science and the supernatural, "Lost and Wanted" could resonate with you. It weaves together the cerebral world of a physicist with the emotional turmoil of unexpected loss, challenging the protagonist's—and possibly your own—views on reality versus the unexplainable. This is especially compelling if you appreciate stories that are as much about human relationships as they are about the enigmas of the universe.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLERONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE VOGUE • FRESH AIRAs a professor of physics at MIT, Helen Clapp disdains notions of the supernatural in favor of rational thought and proven ideas. So it’s perhaps especially vexing when, on an otherwise unremarkable Wednesday in June, she gets a phone call from a friend who has just died.That friend was Charlotte Boyce, Helen’s roommate at Harvard. The two women once confided in each other about Helen’s struggles as a young woman in science, Charlie’s as a black screenwriter in Hollywood, their shared challenges as parents. But as the years passed, they gradually grew apart. And now Charlie is permanently, tragically gone.Drawn back into her friend’s orbit, Helen is forced to question the laws of the universe that have always steadied her mind and heart. Suspenseful, perceptive, deeply affecting, Lost and Wanted is a story of friends and lovers, lost and found, at the most defining moments of their lives.
