Joan was Noah’s wife. She died a few years prior to the main narrative. Like Noah, she was a chemist. Throughout the course of the novel, Noah sometimes imagines conversations with Joan. These conversations are always relevant to matters at hand. By imagining what Joan would say in a given situation, Noah is better able to decide what to do.
