The best-selling, "excellent . . . poignant and scientifically lucid portrait" (New York Times Book Review) of the remarkable Marie Curie.... "Never a dull moment. . . . Goldsmith leads the reader through a wonderland of facts with just the right blend of science and story. In the end, the mystery of the great Madame Curie] remains, but a deeper understanding of what she went through as a woman and a scientist shines as strong as her radium." San Francisco Chronicle "Bestselling historian Goldsmith incisively chronicles Curie's] intensely dramatic life. . . . Her powerful portrait reveals a woman of great passion, genius, and pain who changed the world." Booklist, starred review
