![]() ![]() ![]() Run, don't walk, to your library or bookstore and read it right this minute, just know that it's not a romance novel.įirst, let's talk romance. However, I don't recommend it as a straight-up romance, even though it does contain a wonderful romance as part of the larger narrative. The science and biography and storytelling and art are wonderfully crafted and I absolutely recommend this book to anyone with an interest in science, women's history, or the graphic novel format. It also contains a lot of tragedy and is only partially about the Curies as a couple. N short, “Radioactive” contains a gorgeous, inspiring romance, but is not in itself a romance novel. In keeping with this, I checked out the graphic novel, “ Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie, a tale of Love and Fallout.” I'm going to give you a quick spoiler-free summing up in the first paragraph, and after that paragraph, spoilers will abound. Sometimes I define my role with Smart Bitches as that person who says, “What ever could that strange noise be! You wait here – I'll go into the basement with a malfunctioning flashlight to check it out.” What I mean by that is that I investigate a lot of books that look romantic but aren't on the “romance” shelves of the bookstore, and I report back to you on the romance or lack thereof in said books. ![]() Title: Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie, a Tale of Love and Fallout ![]()
