Mary & Ada Set the World to Rights

It is scarcely brutality Miss Byron not to be granted every last thing your heart desires.’ In 1833 Mary Somerville, the brilliant, self-educated mathematician from Fife, has little time for Ada, rich, entitled daughter of Lord Byron who demands that Mary become her tutor. But when a vicious accusation causes Mary to doubt her entire life’s work, could Ada be just the woman she needs?
