Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout by Lauren Redniss

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book is gorgeous. The art is vivid, creative, unique and emotionally powerful. And beyond being beautiful to look at it, it's also a beautifully written biography of Marie and Pierre Curie. And not only is a really touching look at their lives and their work, but it is interspersed with multiple perspectives helping put their legacy in context. There are cancer survivors and those who found ways to use this technology for good and then there are victims of the Hiroshima bombings and Chernobyl meltdowns. It's truly a gorgeous book from top to bottom written by someone who clearly knows the power of graphic novels as a medium and shows that they are works of art.
