Toni's Reviews > The Goddess of Small Victories: A Novel of Gödel's Wife

There is much to recommend this book: the interesting quotes which begin each chapter, the fascinating quirks of some of the most famous mathematicians and scientists of the twentieth century e.g. Einstein, Opfermann, Godel , the incomprehensible love of Adele for Kurt Godel, the dialog and growth of friendship between Adele and Anna .I enjoyed the first part of the book ;however, I felt that it really got bogged down in the middle and became a very slow read for me at that point. I still found it interesting enough to recommend esp. if you enjoy historical biographies or WWII stories with strong women.I would not recommend it as a great love story.Perhaps a baffling one.
