Synopsis

In the cold hush of 17th-century England, a solitary young man watches the fall of an apple and glimpses the order of the universe.

The Apple and the Infinite is a luminous historical novel tracing the inner world of Isaac Newton during his "Year of Wonders" a time of plague, exile, and astonishing discovery. As the great scientist wrestles with gravity, light, and the structure of reality itself, he must also confront the boundaries of loneliness, obsession, and the fragile connections he allows into his cloistered life.

Told with poetic clarity and emotional depth, this is the story of a mind reaching into the infinite, and the cost of such vision.
