For conditions, please view our photographs. The author has woven a human story of Emilie Du Chatelet’s life of scientific achievements. Her early life with a single parent (father) in the court of Louis XV, marriage to Richelieu and lover to Voltaire. Such a good read – I’ve read it twice and will undoubtedly read it again.
