Half Life

12 February 2024
Written by: Jillian Cantor
Review by: Library Patron
Genre: Historical Fiction,

This is a book about the choices we make in life and what if we made another choice.

The author gives choices to Marie Curie (nee Marya Sklodowska) as her given name in Poland in the first chapter in 1934 and alternates to her younger self Marya whilst growing up in Poland in 1891 and how each choice she took could change her from an ordinary individual to the famous female scientist of her time.
