The Goddess of Small Victories by Yanneck Grannec, translated by Willard Wood

I finished reading this book.  It was a decent read.  Yanneck Grannec writes a fictional rendition of the life of Kurt Godel, a famous mathematician told through the point of a view of his wife Adele.  This is a translation so it had a quirky lilt to the language.  This is a first novel for Ms. Grannec. I think what makes this book so special is that she manages to interweave mathematical theories into the novel in a way that makes it accessible to non-mathematicians.  Definitely worth the read.
