The idea of the plot is fine, but the novel would benefit from additional polishing. I also want to add that simply throwing in a mention of Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights movement felt like a cheap ploy to pretend to introduce the issue of race.

Within the first couple of chapters a sexual assault/attempted rape takes place which is shocking and an attempted rape takes place later on in the book. The book is full of sexism and misogyny as it is looking at a woman in the 1950s and 1960s trying to make it in the field of science, dealing with being an unwed single mother and going against the gender norm for that period of time.ecjl's review against another edition
