BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Bronia and Marie was best of sisters, teaching themselves at home first, and then attending a secret school together to learn more. While Bronia went off to Paris to become a doctor, Marie supported her. When it was Marie’s turn, Bronia supported her - even introducing Marie to her future husband, Pierre Curie. A sweet book that introduces as to the sister we had no idea Marie Curie had.
Marshall portrays beautiful sisterly relationship - a friendship that continued their entire lives. Not short on scientific information about Curie’s discoveries either. A good addition to a women in science collection. Really love the endpapers. Bronia and Marie are Polish.
