I wasn't sure if this would be my kind of book from the title. However, once I started it I was gripped and couldn't put the book down. So glad I've had the chance to read this thriller.

A phenomenal read- fundamentally a love story but so much more as well.
Rosalind is a woman in a mans world, working on the Manhattan Project and involved with one of her fellow scientists we meet Rosalind, heartbroken and working at a jewellery counter in Chicago 1950, distanced from the world of physics and from her former colleagues and friends.
What follows is an intricate love story, wound around espionage and the leaking of atomic secrets to Russia, touching on the emotional and physical effects of the war and of the bomb and putting Rosalind in a seemingly impossible situation of trust, love and betrayal.
Rosalind is an excellent leading lady, strong, intelligent, empathetic and not one to swoon into the arms of the first handsome chap who comes along.
The historical details and the short dips into the role of women during and after the war all add to the story and make it a wonderful read that takes you along right beside Rosalind.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the opportunity to read this book. This was a great story. Very well written historical romance. This is not what i usually read, so i thought id see what it was about. Such a good story. Im glad i read it. Great from the first page. Definetly a 5 star read.

I didn't choose this book, it was offered to me, but I'm so glad that I read it. Set in Chicago in 1950 this is a thriller / romance with many references back to the Manhattan Project. The ethical issues of atomic bombs are addressed, as is the wish to develop peacetime uses for nuclear energy. Mainly though this is an espionage thriller involving the FBI preventing the Russians from stealing secrets from the west to develop their own nuclear capability. Chicago is brought to life and the characters are interesting. A great read.
