The author chose women in a variety of locations and duties which gives a good perspective on the happenings. She presents the sciences is understandable terms and nicely syncs the town doings with the world outside.
What I didn't enjoy was the repetition of several ideas over and over and over. I can understand repeating the impact of secrecy and presenting many scenarios of that impact but to repeat the same scenario over and over is frustrating.
I'm glad she brought the story up to fairly current day, however much has changed since she mentioned potential preservation projects in 2015 and today [2024]. It'd be nice if a new edition updated the epilogue.
