The Tenth Muse
by Catherine Chung
I never imagined I would be interested in a story about mathematical theorems, but my goodness did I love this book! There’s a little bit of everything packed into this novel - historical fiction, mystery, family drama, and love.
As the only biracial (Chinese and white) student in her school growing up, Katherine always felt different. When she later became the only female student in a male-dominated field, Katherine was faced with even more obstacles. Her story is one that is filled with female empowerment as she refused to be dismissed solely for her gender. While she was often underestimated by the men in her field, Katherine held her own and made a name for herself.
For a story chock-full with feminism, I was disappointed to see how Katherine consistently let herself be fooled by men in her personal life. There seemed to be a bit of disconnect in her character development for me - she was such a badass in the mathematical world, but lacked judgment in her personal life.
I flew through this one in less than two days and would definitely recommend both the print and audio. If you are interested in three audiobooks for the price of one with @librofm (the only audiobook service that lets you support indie bookstores!), use code ACEOFPAGES!
