Adam Coopersmith- is a combination of a researcher par excellence and caring physician who are almost extinct nowadays . Adam goes on to complete a project left midway by his dead mentor. His marriage which is on the rocks completely dies when he falls in love with another woman. This almost kills his career too. And then a series of events leads to his life being threatened for no mistake of his.He has Alzeimer's

Sandy Raven- Another researcher par excellence,devoted to his work and a unmatched genius in his field. Yet at the moment of his greatest discovery, he is betrayed by someone- a disaster that every scientist fears. What will this betrayal make him do, will he abandon his dreams for the ultimate prize and settle for lesser prizes?


Isabel da Costa- a child genius who is recognised by her father and is constantly pushed by her father to become something he could never be.Though he nurtures her talent but pushes her to the hilt. In the process, she becomes well known as her father wanted but at what price. In the end of her story she has to make a choice between her father and a young man who could provide her all the hapiness in this world. And just when you thought its moving towards a close a shocking revelation changes her life forever.
ADAM, SANDY, ISABEL are torn apart in their personal lives but Segal brings their story together when they compete for the ultimate PRIZE of them all- the NOBEL . Segal weaves a brilliant story of these 3 genius, their dedication which wins them laurels but not the greatest PRIZE of them all.

Two of them recieve the biggest honour of their lives. But all 3 find out that life has other ways of giving us the PRIZES we desire.
A brilliantly written book by Segal whose Love Story i personally hated. All the characters are brilliant especially Adam, probably because of the end. I would recommend this book to all the people whether you liked Love Story or not. We spend so much time on seeking worldly pleasures while conviniently forgetting what gives us joy.
A book for everyone who has a dream.
