I liked the cover design, and from the description, this sounded like something that I might enjoy.

This was a very good historical novel, and it was heartwarming without anything being overly sentimental or sugar-coated. From the start, I liked the protagonist and was interested in her. There were also some other characters that I took an interest in, and I became very emotionally involved, hoping for the most desirable outcome for these characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

In this historical fiction Clara Thomas, our main character, tries to find her way in life as a physicist, a difficult thing to do at the end of the 19th century, and also as a woman.
For a first novel, I was impressed by the easy flow of the plot and the characterization of the characters, making you empathize with some and not so much with others.
I have read the novel practically in one sitting and I will certainly keep Christy K. Lee in my focus, waiting for new novels of hers.
Clearly recommended for lovers of the historical and romantic genre.
