Enchantress of Numbers by Jennifer Chiaverini

4.0

Finally picked this book up again to finish it! I had put it down to do some Christmas reading and then put it aside. I’m glad I picked it up when I was having trouble deciding what book to start. The beginning of this book felt a little slow to me which is why I think I put off getting back to it. I understand the need to show what happened with Ada’s mother and Lord Byron but some of the chapters of Ada’s early childhood in her perspective were a little tedious. I felt the book picked up as she began her studies and her interest in Flyology. She became more real to me then. I found her life to be interesting, especially her brilliant mind. Her mother really was led for the rest of her life, it seems, by what happened with Lord Byron. I find it nice that Ada rests near him on his former estate. Glad I finished this book. I will be thinking about Ada.
