Opis

Set in a fictional prairie town in which the two overarching industries are a living history facility and a laboratory for experiments in high-energy particle physics, "Charmed Particles" tells the intertwined stories of two families.
Abhijat is a theoretical physicist from India now working at the National Accelerator Research Laboratory. His wife, Sarala, home with their young daughter, Meena, struggles to assimilate to their new American culture.
Meena s best friend at school is Lily, a precocious child prodigy whose father self-identifies as the last great gentleman explorer and whose mother, a local politician, becomes entangled in efforts to stop to the National Accelerator Research Laboratory s plans to build a new superconducting supercollider.
The conflict over the collider fractures the community and creates deep divides within the families of the novel.
