“Atomic Anna is a dazzling work of ingenuity and imagination.”―Téa Obreht,National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Inland
From the author of A Bend in the Stars,
an epic adventure as three generations of women work together and
travel through time to prevent the Chernobyl disaster and right the
wrongs of their past.
Three brilliant women. Two life-changing mistakes. One chance to reset the future.
In 1986, nuclear scientist Anna Berkova is asleep in her bed in the
Soviet Union when Chernobyl's reactor melts down. The energy surge
accidentally sends her through time. When she wakes up, she's in 1992
and discovers Molly, her estranged daughter, shot in the chest. Should
Anna travel in time to save her daughter or stop Chernobyl?
Anna
goes to '60s Philadelphia, where Molly is coming of age as an adopted
refusenik in a family full of secrets. Molly finds solace in comic
books, drawing her own series, Atomic Anna.
But when she meets volatile Viktor, their romance sets her life on a
dangerous course. Anna then seeks out Molly's daughter, Raisa, in the
'80s. Raisa is a lonely teen and math prodigy, who finds new issues of
Atomic Anna in unexpected places. Each comic challenges her to solve
equations leading to two impossible conclusions: Time travel is real and
so is the strange old woman claiming to be her grandmother.
These three remarkable women must work together across time to prevent
the greatest nuclear disaster of the twentieth century, but simply
because you can change the past, does it mean you should?
