Cool mix of science and storytelling. Im in awe of Rosalind Franklin as a scientist. I cried and certainly wouldn’t be able to just carry on like she did.

I found the story of Rosalind Franklin fascinating. This book was so well researched and was a good  balance between Rosalind the scientist and Rosalind the daughter, sister, friend.  She was curious and smart with a fierce sense  of scientific integrity that drove her whole life.

An inviting window into the life of an increasingly known scientist.

Would've liked to see more of her life before the labo and how she chose science above anything else.

Got lost in several of the science bits, as it stays rather high level.
