All the Light We Cannot See meets The Nightingale in this literary WWI-era novel and epic love story of a brilliant young doctor who races against Einstein to solve one of the universe's great mysteries.

Grounded in real history -- and inspired by the solar eclipse of 1914 -- A Bend in the Stars offers a heart-stopping account of modern science's greatest race amidst the chaos of World War I, and a love story as epic as the railways crossing Russia.

 

Rachel’s debut nov­el is A Bend In The Stars has been named a New York Times Sum­mer Read­ing Selec­tion and a Barnes & Noble Dis­cov­er Great New Writ­ers selec­tion. It is also a Boston Globe Best­seller. Rachel’s sec­ond nov­el, The His­to­ry of Time Trav­el, is forth­com­ing from Grand Cen­tral (2021).

Rachel is a pro­lif­ic writer and review­er for the LA Review of Books and the Tel Aviv Review of Books among others.  She is an Hon­orary Research Asso­ciate at the Hadas­sah-Bran­deis Insti­tute and a grad­u­ate of GrubStreet’s Nov­el Incu­ba­tor. She is also the founder of Debut Spot­light.  She has degrees from Har­vard in Busi­ness, and Lit­er­a­ture and Phi­los­o­phy. She lives in Brook­line, MA
