âThoughtful, magical, and alive with romantic alchemy, Love and Gravity is a rare gem of a book, both intellectual and beautiful.ââNew York Times bestselling author Sarah Addison Allen
Andrea Louviere is seven years old the first time he appears. While sheâs alone in her bedroom, practicing her beloved cello, the light shivers and a crack forms in the wall. Through the crack, she sees a candle, a window, a deskâand a boy. In the eerie silence, the boy clearly sees Andrea too. Then, as quickly as it opened, the crack closes and he vanishes.
Over the years, summoning the boy becomes an obsession for Andrea. On her seventeenth birthday, she receives a three-hundred-year-old love letter from Isaac Newton. Andrea knows that Isaac will change the world with his groundbreaking discoveries; the letter tells Andrea that she will change him.
As Isaacâs letters intensify in passion and intimacy, Andrea grows determined to follow his clues to their shared destinyâdespite a burgeoning romance in the present. Only when she discovers the way into Isaacâs time does Andrea realize that she faces a heartbreaking decision between what was . . . and what might be.
