Description

Geneva delves into the intricate interplay between love, ambition, and the fragility of the human mind. Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sarah Collier is confronted with the onset of Alzheimer's disease, a fate that echoes her father's tragic decline. This poignant narrative explores the depths of human resilience as Sarah grapples with her fears and the looming uncertainty of her future.

The Plot

Persuaded by her husband, Daniel, a dedicated neuroscientist, Sarah agrees to attend a prestigious biotech conference in Geneva. The event promises revolutionary medical advancements that could not only transform countless lives but also offer hope for Sarah's own condition. As the couple navigates the high-stakes environment of the conference, they find themselves entangled in a web of secrets, ethical dilemmas, and personal revelations.

Amidst the glamour and the pressure, tensions rise, revealing the cracks in their relationship. As the narrative unfolds, unexpected twists challenge their bond, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and desires. The story paints a vivid picture of the struggle between scientific progress and the emotional toll it takes on those involved.

Themes

  • The impact of illness on identity and relationships
  • The ethical complexities of medical advancements
  • The resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity
"A gripping exploration of love and loss, where every moment counts." - A reader's reflection

Readers who appreciated Armitage's previous works will find Geneva a compelling addition to the literary landscape, resonating with themes reminiscent of novels such as Still Alice by Lisa Genova and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
