Her Hidden Genius by Marie BenedictMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Hidden Genius tells the story of Dr. Rosalind Franklin--don't call her Rosy! She has spent years working on DNA using X-ray constellations to unlock its meaning. Though she has colleagues who conspire instead of collaborating, Rosalind is determined not to let anything interfere with her investigation. After painstaking years of study, she sees the double helix structure in DNA. But will she receive the right credit for her contribution?
First of all, let me start with the title and the cover. What a beautiful cover and fitting title. I know this is a work of fiction, but I praise Marie Benedict's skill in bringing a character to life. I found myself amazed, amazed at Rosalind's dedication and patience to get the science right during her study. I learned so much about this remarkable woman who sacrificed so much on her journey with the DNA.
I love Marie Benedict's work and all I can say is, I hope she keeps them coming. Rosalind was a hidden genius who wasn't given the credit she deserved for the work that she put in. Marie Benedict gave her depth and built Rosalind's world so I felt as if I were experiencing everything as it happened. I really enjoyed this read.
Thank you #Netgalley for the ARC.
