Richard Powers
The Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2021, an Oprah's Book Club selection! The breathtaking new novel from the million-copy bestselling author of The Overstory. Theo Byrne is a promising young scientist who has found a way to search for life on other planets dozens of light years away. He is also the widowed father of a most unusual nine-year-old. His son Robin is funny, loving and filled with plans. He thinks and feels deeply, adores animals and can spend hours painting elaborate pictures. But after a violent outburst from Robin at school, the strength of their close bond will be tested to its limits ... What can a father do, when those around him refuse to understand his rare and troubled child? And how can he reveal to his boy the truth about our beautiful, bewildered world?
