Milkmaids, Meadows, Boys Called Peter: A Pseudo-Fairy Tale Set in a World of Science rather than Magic

By A. N. Schweitzer and A.N. Schweitzer

Biomedical research meets fiction in this Lab Lit novel about immutability versus change and the subjectivity of perception.

Alice Gaines would never have left London if not for the lure of a seemingly auspicious two-year fellowship in Boston and a conditional promotion on her return. She has now spent six months trying and failing to validate a result with momentous implications for autoimmune disease and feels her prospects back home slipping away.

A brief encounter with plain-spoken Peter temporarily shakes up her world-until she sees him hours later in close contact with a woman she can't stand. Angry and humiliated, she shuns his continued overtures of friendship. However, even as pride blinds her to his growing distress, her floundering way forward soon becomes intimately entwined with the insidious symptoms of a life-threatening virus he has contracted.
