The first time I read this I was too young, but re-reading it recently I was drawn to the complex characters who have to negotiate a self and a career and a love which do not necessarily have the same needs. As an academic, I and nearly all of my colleagues have had to negotiate the tricky business of solving the "two-body problem" without destroying everything else along the way. And, the physicist in me just plain loves the title.
