About this listen

Ada Byron is rich and clever, but she longs to be free. Free to explore all the amazing ideas that come to her imagination, like flying mechanical horses and stories inspired by her travels. Free to find love and passion beyond the watchful gaze of her mother and governesses. And free to learn the full truth about her father, the notorious Lord Byron. Then Ada meets a man whose invention might just change the world - and he needs her visionary brilliance to bring it to life....

I found out about Ada Lovelace by a number of coincidences via Charles Babbage
I started to realise her for thought regarding the ability to compute and the path of logic she took
I had no idea of her title, background or father initially
ok as a bloke the reading is from a female angle quite understandable, but it gives a view I would not have otherwise...thus the fascinating..
it was a story unfolding without the political and PC destruction of many stories based in the past
have recommended it to others.

I appreciate what the book is trying to do. But I'm sorry it's very hard for a normal person to get inside the head of a real genius. At times it was like an awkward cross between Bridgerton and A Beautiful Mind.

I did not like the narration. The peculiar sing-song Intonation of the narrator irritated me.

I made it through to the end because it's for a book club. But otherwise would have returned it.

Fascinating woman, who deserves better than this

This just went on and on - meandering all over the place. The narrator sounded quite cartoon like and comical - which is what helped me to decide to buy, but I'm now not sure if that was deliberate. Fell asleep so many times with this and so it's time to return it. Sadly as it is a very interesting premise but just didn't work.

Couldn't work out the purpose of this book.
