About the Book

In the beginning, there was happiness. Maya, an artist obsessed with the nature of beauty, and Noah, a quantum physicist preoccupied by the mysteries of the universe, found in each other a shared curiosity about the world. But beneath the surface of their happy marriage is a third rail: Serena, the lost child that Noah had with his ex-wife, Eileen. One day Noah gets a call from an eccentric billionaire, asking him to participate in a clandestine project aiming to unravel the secrets of time and consciousness. The couple agrees to relocate to the Janus Lab, deep in the desert, where Noah finds himself drawn into a dangerous kind of time travel that could result in seeing Serena again. As Noah delves into this groundbreaking, fringe work, his past begins to overtake him. And when his ex-wife, Eileen, joins the project, Maya embarks on a journey back to her own past, one that takes her to Japan, to her family, and to a formative lover who once shattered her heart. As Noah, Maya, and Eileen grapple with the balance between holding on and letting go, new information emerges that the Janus Lab might not be exactly what it seems. A heart-achingly moving novel, Lightbreakers plumbs the mysteries of human connection, and explores how to love in a world where time is both a healer and a thief.

Review :
"Riveting . . . A moving story about art, time, loss and the possibility of love. Lightbreakers is a marvel. . . propulsive and unforgettable." –Washington Post "Satisfying. . . Gabel hits a winning combination in this tale of modern love and time travel.” –Publishers Weekly "A phenomenal portrait of profound grief." –Booklist, starred review "A poignant and sharp novel about love, loss, and finding light in the darkness." –Kirkus Reviews "Readers will love the novel’s impressive pacing, and the ideas it presents about the intersection of art and science will linger in the mind." –Bookpage, starred review "A deeply moving, mind-bending read." –Real Simple "Absolutely fascinating." –Literary Hub "Beautifully written. . . a thoughtful, compelling and moving examination of the human instinct for love and meaning-making." —BookReporter "A novel about grief, ambition, and love . . . as breath-taking as it is mind-bending." –Rachel Khong, New York Times bestselling author of Real Americans "Magisterial and moving. . . Lightbreakers is complex, startling, and impossibly alive." –Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here "A marriage story that twists into a sci-fi thriller, posing questions about the elusiveness of the past and the time-jumping nature of grief. . . Lightbreakers made me see things anew." –Ling Ma, author of Severance "You will love this genre-busting book. . . A cross of literary fiction and sci-fi, it’s also a beautiful meditation of grief, time, and love." –Samin Nosrat, author of Salt Fat Acid Heat "A wrenching story of love and loss, suffused with an alluring science-fiction premise." —Elle "Soulful science fiction that speaks to the mind as well as the heart." –Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists "Audaciously tackles life’s most formative experiences: love and loss." –Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Entitlement
