In het oog

Nicola, a microbiologist, keeps the same cool, scientific detachment towards lovers, friends and family as towards the samples under her lens, and those close to her wish she would let her emotions show. Then Bee, her girlfriend, leaves her out of the blue, and the grant for research she believes is about to pay off is withdrawn. Cut loose, Nicola keeps her cultures going in a hidden part of the lab and quietly helps the results along. She falls under the spell of a man called Louis, watches him in secret and enters his home without his knowing, and an affair begins. The novel asks whether love demands complete honesty.
