3⭐️ Book was ok. Things I liked about the book were that it took in an era that isn‘t really explored in #historicalfiction. I liked the characters and she drew you into story. Things that I didn‘t really like was that some of the chapters were really long, with no breaks and that it was a slow read. #2024 #fiction #bookreview #literaryfiction

20th c.Tennessee history, beautifully rendered as Fos & Opal are forced out of Knoxville by the KKK, then out of their Clinch River farm by the TVA flood, then move to the Secret City for work. Questionable #SciBreakthrough ramifications of electricity then the atom bomb. Oak Ridge is still a leader in nuclear energy research. Recent visit there at the American Museum of Science & Energy. #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A naive fascination with bio'luminescence, x-rays, and early photography ultimately lead Fos and Opal to work at Oak Ridge National #Laboratory during the development of the atom bomb. Highly recommend! Pic of scupture outside American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge, Tennessee where the story of the secret city is told. #SavvySettings @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
