TaraShea Nesbit reads from and discusses her critically-acclaimed debut novel The Wives of Los Alamos. Their average age was twenty-five. They came from Berkeley, Cambridge, Paris, London, Chicago-and arrived in New Mexico ready for adventure, or at least resigned to it. But hope quickly turned to hardship as they were forced to adapt to a rugged military town where everything was a secret, including what their husbands were doing at the lab. “I am in awe of this novel. TaraShea Nesbit’s brave and brilliant choice of point of view for these women living inside their earth-shattering secret crucible brings home to us in the fullest way possible that our personal story is never just ours. The Wives of Los Alamos will be read and re-read and remembered.” – Gail Godwin
