The Wave Theory of Angels is Alison MacLeod's compelling mixture of thriller and philosophical exploration.Two widowed fathers named Giles. The first, woodcarver Giles of Beauvais in thirteenthcentury France, whose unearthly skill leads the medieval Church to suspect him of heresy. The second, maverick twentyfirstcentury physicist Giles Carver, who risks his reputation and livelihood for a heretical theory.Both Gileses have daughters named Christina who each fall into a strange coma from which they will not wake. And in their dreams both girls struggle to return to the world that they left behind a reality which seems to be turning away from them. Are the memories they cling to real? Is the lover they both dream of a protector or a more sinister presence? And are the men who claim to be their fathers actually someone else entirely 'Part thriller, part philosophical treatise.
