“Entanglement: Quantum and Otherwise” by John K. Danenbarger is a crime fiction novel that follows the lives of people in a family. We start with Geena Nuss in 2044. She gets word that her father has died. As we dig further, we uncover the family's history of criminal activities and unsolved deaths.

The main characters in the book are Geena Nuss and her adopted brother Davis, who suffers from extensive aggression. Geena’s mother is Beth Sturgess, who used to be a drug-addicted prostitute; her father is Kevin Nuss; and Joe, who used to be a stripper and a friend of Geena’s parents,.

The characters lives intersect across generations. The story spans decades, and we meet various narrators. The book tells the story of different characters from different generations on a different timeline. Each character is dealing with their own messy situation.

“Entanglement: Quantum and Otherwise” also talks about the invisible ties that bind us. The book talks about the quantum idea of entanglement, in which particles entangle and their states are affected by one another regardless of distance. The novel explores not only family bonds but also the ways of the world and even dolphins.

Danenbarger spins this web of characters and time periods together with ease. The characters’ flaws and relatability keep you invested. The story unfolds slowly, revealing secrets and emotions. Some may find it dark and complicated, but if you like thrillers and mysteries, you’ll enjoy the depth of the story.

Personally, I had difficulty reading while the book jumped from one narrator to another. It makes connecting the story complex, and other than that, the book is written and edited professionally and is an interesting read.

And so, I would rate the book four out of five stars.

In short, John K. Danenbarger’s “Entanglement: Quantum and Otherwise” is a great novel. It is intellectual and emotional and explores family, science, and other messy elements. The book contains mature content, so I would recommend this as a read for adults only.
