Goldsmith, whose books include "Little Gloria. What a way to treat a woman! One of the strengths of "Obsessive Genius," Barbara Goldsmith's excellent short biography of Marie Curie, is its suppression of anger. To see Marie Curie forced to sit among the audience in Stockholm while her husband, Pierre, gave the lecture following their joint receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1903 is infuriating.

I think it might’ve taken me at max, 1 hour to read the entirety of this first novel.įae’s Captive is actually super fast paced. Which also makes the story more interesting than I thought it’d be.Īdmittedly, Fae’s Captive is quite a short book.
