The Tenth Muse
by Catherine Chung
4.5 stars.
It's so hard to sum up my feelings about this book though. Within the first few chapters the book had already roused a burning sense of anger and indignation for Katherine.
The bulk book is about Katherine trying to strike out her own path in the field of mathematics, when she is but one of the very few women in the field. But this book also explores many other parts of her identity, relationship and roots.
Katherine feels so real! I kept having to remind myself that this is a fictional story. It's so heartbreaking to read about all the things she had to go through. Along the way she had stumbled and made many decisions that on hindsight she would regret. But it was a pleasure to read about her self discovery and growth.
