Description
Alice, a British physicist, travels across the Atlantic on board the QE2 to start her research job in New Jersey. On this journey, she meets Jove, a renowned quantum physicist with a reputation for being charming and elusive. Their encounter blossoms into an affair, but Alice soon finds herself entangled in a complicated web of emotions when she falls for Jove's wife, Stella. As their relationships become increasingly intertwined, the boundaries between love, desire, and intellectual curiosity begin to blur. This novel explores the intricate dance between science and passion, revealing the complexities of human connection in a world where logic and reason often seem at odds with the heart. With its unique blend of romance, philosophy, and psychological insight, Gut Symmetries is a thought-provoking exploration of love, identity, and the search for meaning.
