This is a fictionalized account of the life of Emy Noether, one of the most famous and influential women mathematicians of all time. It focuses very much on Noether, rather than her mathematics, but it does portray the mathematical environment in which she worked. It is a nice book and the author's affection for Noether shines through clearly. It is well researched and written in a very pleasant style. Destined for the younger reader, it is quite short, and I fear that the more interested reader, however young, will regret the lack of detail. It has a glossary and a good index, but regretfully it doesn't provide a list of references for further details of Noether, her work and her life.
A fine introduction in the life of an enigmatic person and an invitation to try to discover more about her work and publications.
