Oh Pure And Radiant Heart

At the moment of history's first nuclear explosion, physicists J. Robert Oppenheimer,Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard are displaced to contemporary America where they are taken in by Ann, a reference librarian, and her husband, Ben.Stunned by the evidence of their legacy, the scientists begin a ramshackle pilgrimage for nuclear disarmament while Ann and Ben struggle with the strain on their marriage, threatened by the ghostly men of the Manhattan Project. Oh Pure and Radiant Heart is heroic and mischievious, a sweeping apocalyptic fable marrying the personal to the political and confronting the longing for immortality with the desire for redemption.
