“You will love this genre-busting book. . . A beautiful meditation of grief, time, and love.” –Samin Nosrat
What would you give to relive the past?
Maya, an artist, and Noah, a quantum physicist, share an insatiable curiosity about the world. But their happy marriage has a shadow over it: Serena, the child Noah had with his first wife, who died before she turned four.
When Noah is invited by the Janus Project to help unravel the secrets of time travel, he jumps at the opportunity. At a laboratory deep in the Texas desert, he begins participating in dangerous, secret experiments that could result in something he thought impossible: seeing his daughter again.
Meanwhile, Maya returns to her own past in Japan and to a formative lover who once shattered her heart. As Noah and Maya grapple with hope and despair, new information emerges that the experiments might not be what they seem.
A heartachingly moving novel, Lightbreakers plumbs the mysteries of human connection, and explores how to love in a world where time is both a healer and a thief.
