"Sardonic and strange, this novel bewitches with its dark humor and loopy lyricism. It reads like a botanist's cross-breeding of The Secret History and Department of Speculation, captivating readers with its intricate plot and memorable characters.
Nell Barber, an expelled PhD candidate in Biological Science, is on a mission to set a speed record for detoxifying poisonous plants. Her mentor, Dr. Joan Kallas, is a hero in Nell's heart, and despite her own feelings, she finds herself drawn to Joan's elegance, success, and spiritual force.
Surrounded by Nell's ex, her best friend, her best friend's boyfriend, and Joan's buffoonish husband, the two scientists are entangled in a web of illicit relationships, grudges, and obsessions. As they collide on the university campus, their attractions set in motion a domino effect of affairs and heartbreak.
In the midst of this emotional turmoil, Nell slowly fills her empty apartment with poisonous plants to study, and she begins to keep a series of notebooks, all dedicated to Joan. These notebooks serve as a map of Nell's research and her days, but they ultimately become a painstaking map of love.
Rebecca Dinerstein Knight has crafted a spellbinding novel of emotional and intellectual intensity, with a dazzling and unforgettable voice that will leave readers breathless."
