It bindsthe destinies of Catherine Colebrook, theproper wife of a fading diplomat, who rebelsagainst every convention to chase theromance of science through her lens, andEligius, an Indian teenager thrust into servitudeafter his father is killed demandingnative rights.The Luminist is a weave of legend and history,science and art, politics and domesticitythat are symphonic themes in the maintitle, the story of an enduring and forbiddenfriendship. Catherine and Eligius musteach struggle with internal forces that inspirethem and societal pressures that commandthem.
