It is 1912, and at Cambridge University the modern age is knocking at the gate.
In lecture halls and laboratories, the model of a universe governed by the Mind of God is at last
giving way to something wholly rational, a universe governed by the Laws of Physics. To Fred
Fairly, a junior fellow at the College of St. Angelicus, this comes as a great comfort. Science,
he is certain, will soon explain everything. Mystery will be routed by reason, and the demands
of the soul will be seen for what they area distraction and an illusion.

Into Fred's orderly life comes Daisy, with a bangliterally. One moment the two are perfect
strangers, fellow cyclists on a dark country road; the next, they are casualties of a freakish accident,
occupants of the same warm bed. Fred has never been so close to a woman before, and none so pretty,
so plainspoken, and yet somysterious. Is she a manifestation of chaos, or is she a sign of another
kind of order?

As the smitten Fred pursues these questions, Penelope Fitzgerald suggests that scientists can still
be mistaken and that the soul must still be answered, even in this age of the atom.

Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.
