Description
Soul by Tobsha Learner is a literary fiction novel that explores passion, identity, and moral choice across two interconnected timelines. In 19th-century Britain, Lavinia Huntington enters a marriage that awakens both intellectual curiosity and physical desire, only to face emotional betrayal and isolation. In present-day Los Angeles, Julia Huntington, a geneticist researching the biology of violence, makes a disturbing personal discovery that challenges her understanding of herself, her emotions, and her relationships. As both women confront loss, betrayal, and the limits of reason, their stories unfold in parallel, revealing how personal choices can shape lives across generations. The novel examines themes of love, emotional conflict, scientific ethics, and the nature of human impulse, set against richly contrasting historical and contemporary settings.
Soul will appeal to readers interested in character-driven literary fiction, dual-timeline narratives, and stories that explore the psychological and emotional complexity of human behaviour.
