It's 1940 France. Right In the middle of WWII. Two men, leading entirely different lives become entwined, forming an unexpected friendship. Both will go on to earn a Nobel Prize in their line of work. And both will go on to lead extraordinary lives.
This is a pretty hefty book, starting with it's length. But also due to it's content. I found the war history to be engaging, as I usually do. Especially reading a out it from a new perspective. Camus I alreAdy knew through His literature , but Monod was new to me. A lot of this book was enjoyable, most all of it was interesting, but there were a lot of areas I felt dragged on or were disjointed. I am sure it's hard to make a book connect the dots when you are working with materials gathered over the years and from different resources, but I wish it would have had better flow at times. But overall, I think there was a lot of great and worthy content.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
