Reviews
"In Vromen's twisty, infectiously readable debut, secrets are simmering within Los Alamos...With young love, a clandestine affair, intense guilt, and suppressed yearnings circulating in this high-pressure environment." -- Booklist " Hill of Secrets is one of the best novels I have read in ages. Couldn't put it down. Galina Vromen's fully drawn characters and intimate storytelling reveals the complexities of life for those at Los Alamos who knew the big atomic bomb secret and those who couldn't be told--but it also explores the complicated web of secrets we all spin and hold as we navigate our way through life." --Valerie Strauss, The Washington Post "A powerhouse of a novel, not to be missed! This compelling, thought-provoking story deftly dives into the emotional complexity of the Manhattan Project, particularly for the women behind-the-scenes. The setting, Los Alamos during the development of the bomb, serves as a prism to expose the many consequences of secrecy during this singular moment in history. Hill of Secrets has it all: drama and romance, conflict and pain, compromise and loss and, through it all, hope. I highly recommend this original and haunting book." --Samantha Greene Woodruff, bestselling author of The Lobotomist's Wife and The Trade-Off "A fantastic historical novel about a rarely written about time in history, featuring an endearing cast of characters. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, it stayed with me long after I turned the final page." --Soraya Lane, bestselling author of The Secret Midwife "Perfect for book clubs or anyone who appreciates beautiful writing and heartfelt characters in historical fiction. A must read!" --Anita Abriel, author of The Light After the War, "In Vromen's twisty, infectiously readable debut, secrets are simmering within Los Alamos...With young love, a clandestine affair, intense guilt, and suppressed yearnings circulating in this high-pressure environment." -- Booklist "A deftly crafted World War II era novel with which author Galina Vromen reveals a special talent for the kind of narrative driven historical fiction that makes for a fascinating and entertaining read from start to finish." -- Midwest Book Review " Hill of Secrets is one of the best novels I have read in ages.

Well-developed, sympathetic characters, and learning about life in a secret government facility made me reluctant to put the book down...Highly recommended." -- Historical Novels Review "Love, duty, and morality are all important issues in this book...The story remains relevant today as the military industry advances the materials used in our world's ongoing wars." -- Jewish Book Council "A powerhouse of a novel, not to be missed!

Synopsis
In a desert outpost, nuclear scientists and their families face the toll of the secrets they keep from the world and from each other in this gripping wartime novel from debut author Galina Vromen. Los Alamos, 1943. The US Army has gathered scientists to create the world's first nuclear weapon. Their families, abruptly moved to the secret desert base with no explanation, have simple orders: Stand by. Make do. Above all, don't ask questions. Christine, forced to abandon her art restoration business in New York for her husband's career, struggles to reinvent herself and cope with his increasing aloofness. Gertie, the inquisitive teenage daughter of a German Jewish refugee physicist enlists Christine to help her unravel hidden truths and deal with parents haunted by their past. Gertie's father, Kurt, anguished by what the Nazis have done to his family and bent on defeating them, carries burdens he longs to share but cannot confide in his wife--leading him to find comfort elsewhere. And Jimmy, a young army technician, falls for Gertie but is unsure if even her deep affection can overcome his agonizing self-doubts. Will so much secrecy save them or destroy them?
