"A dramatic and powerful novel reflecting on nature, nurture, inquiry, perception, and the myriad ways we try to understand what it means to be alive"-- Provided by publisher. London. Olivia's connection to Francis, a committed naturalist living off the grid, is immediate and startling. Eager to involve her friend Lucy in her joy, Olivia introduces the two-- but Lucy has received shocking news of her own that binds the trio unusually close. Over the months that follow Lucy's boss, Hunter, Olivia's psychoanalyst parents, and a young man named Sebastian are pulled into the friends' orbit, and not one of them will emerge unchanged. -- adapted from jacket
