The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal
5.0
Absolutely engrossing alternate history … the first chapter is set in 1952, but the history tweaks started in 1948 presidential election. I love alternate histories, especially ones that are as throughly believable and science based as this one. Absolutely stay for the authors postscript as her explanations of the reasons behind her history tweaks and how she researched was fascinating.
Asking my library to buy the next in the series as soon as possible!
I listened on a reread and would recommend this one be read with the eyes if you can. The narration is done by the author, but she makes the main character sound much more hesitant and uncertain than I read it in my mind. I didn’t like that take as much.
