Margot by Wendell Steavenson
4.5
"Maybe we have to lose ourselves to find ourselves."
What a lovely read! Such a unique novel about a girl with an overbearing and demanding mother. A tall and awkward girl who loved to read and learn. She grew into a female science student during the 1960s and we join Margot during her journey as she discovers herself, attempting to understand life and the chromosomes it is comprised of.
Really enjoyed this...it was a slice of history paired with an awesome story about an intelligent woman dealing with the complexities of life. We are made up of genes given to us by our parents, we are raised with expectations, but we are our own people with our own minds. We can do as we please despite the DNA inside of us.
Be strong and find who you are regardless of the expectations and the genetics.
