She also provides young Jennet with her treatise, 'A Woman's Garden of Pleasure and Pain,' which will greatly enrich Jennet's life for many years. Although she's the daughter of a witchfinder in England, she is fortunate to have an Aunt Isobel Mowbray who is a 'natural philosopher.' She tutors Jennet in science, mathematics, and philosophy. Jennet Stearnes is a young woman ahead of her time. but these brief passages can't save a book that is overall terrible, and a huge disappointment for me. oh, and for someone who took such pains to use 'period language,' aka slang and big words, its amazing that no one bothered to ask why they were using modern-day french! seriously, do you not think french has changed in 300 years too? this and the myriad other problems are a shame, because the sections where the narrator, the principia mathematica, discusses itself are intriguing and very creative.

also, i should add, if the book was intended to have a feminist overtone, i have to say i'm extremely disappointed that the author chose to say that a woman can be a good intellectual or a good mother, but not both. i should have stopped reading right there. While the names and dates might be historically accurate, the characters motivations and personalities are totally anachronistic, like when the minister scolds isobel for keeping servants(!). The dialogue is stilted (its so obvious that the author found a book about 17th century slang and then used those words as many times as possible.bleh) and the plot bends credulity past its breaking point several times over. I cannot believe so many people loved this book.
