Critics Review
“A fascinating and intelligent WWII home front story with a smart heroine who uses her upbringing and knowledge of physics to protect a US factory from a traitor.” – Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of two historical mystery series as well as several internationally bestselling historical novels, including The Venice Sketchbook
“With its smart, Rosie-the-Riveter heroine and intriguing wartime mystery, The Physicists’ Daughter is a fresh and fascinating glimpse of life on the American home front during WWII. Replete with spies, saboteurs, and save-the-day scientists, the book is a page-turning adventure that sparked my mind and opened my heart. I never wanted the story to end!” – Amanda Skenandore, author of The Second Life of Mirielle West
