Book Review of Enchantress of Numbers: A Novel of Ada Lovelace

Enchantress of Numbers: A Novel of Ada Lovelace
njmom3 avatar reviewed on + 1389 more book reviews


Clearly, two stories are at play in Enchantress of Numbers by Jennifer Chiaverini. One is the story of the Byron's doomed marriage and its impact on the entire life of Ada Lovelace. The other is the story of Ada Lovelace, a pioneer as a female scientist and mathematician in a 1800s England. I begin the book expecting the second story, but the book is very clearly the first storyline told in a very unhurried, detailed approach.
