It is 1912, and at Cambridge University the modern age is knocking at the gate. In lecture halls and laboratories, the model of a universe governed by the Mind of God is at last giving way to something wholly rational, a universe governed by the Laws of Physics. Good news for Fred Fairly, a junior fellow at the College of St Angelicus. Science, he is certain, will explain everything.
Into Fred's orderly life comes Daisy, with a bang, both casualties of a cycling accident on a dark Cambridge road. Fred is smitten. Why have I met her? he wonders. Is this a manifestation of Chaos, or is it a sign of another kind of Order? As Fred pursues these questions, Penelope Fitzgerald suggests that scientists can still be mistaken - and that the soul must be answered - even in this age of the atom.
