Gut Symmetries is an appropriate title for a book whose protagonists include Alice and Jove, two theoretical physicists who are conducting a high-voltage adulterous love affair when they are not seeking a Grand Unified Theory of nature. When Alice confronts Jove's wife, Stella, she quickly falls in love with her, resulting in consequences that are by turns horrifying, comic and arousing.
