"I thought that perhaps it's only in those moments between the slides of a kaleidoscope, those moments of a life that never crystallize into practiced anecdote or reliable knowledge, that we close our eyes and people pass through us, or over us and around us, as a wave sweeps us off our feet and makes us another part of its motion."

Trinity tells the story of Robert Oppenheimer, creator of the atomic bomb, as told through seven different fictional people; from the secret agent trailing him to his secretary and the journalist who interviews him at the end of his life. As you learn more about Oppenheimer you also learn about the various different characters and how their lives are connected in a kaleidoscopic way. Trinity makes you question how well we can ever know anyone and the ways in which we are perceived by different people. Written beautifully, and a perfect example of historical fiction, I'm really looking forward to reading more of Louisa Hall's work

A really interesting and engaging read. This book was interesting and informative, I learnt a lot about Robert Oppenheimer.
I loved the style of writing and how Oppenheimer was seen through the eyes of other people.
I look forward to reading other books by Louisa Hall.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Little, Brown Book Group UK and Netgalley for this ARC
