At the same time, Lily and her friends are haunted by what is happening to Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the Resistance in Germany, and his story serves as a counterpoint to theirs. In a sweeping historical novel that cuts across continents and reveals a deep knowledge of the science of the making of the bomb, \u003ci\u003eBeginning the World Again \u003c\/i\u003eoffers valuable insights into that fascinating time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoberta Silman's first story was in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e; other stories followed there, in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRedbook\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMcCall's\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHadassah\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVQR\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe American Scholar \u003c\/i\u003eand in many places here and abroad.
