Servants of the Map: Stories » (Reprint)

A writer whose novels distill historical fact into historically accurate fiction, Andrea Barrett is as much renowned for her storytelling abilities as for her understanding of the history of science. In her books, the real and the fictitious intertwine, as famous scientists from history make appearances in her delightfully imagined and well-researched stories.

"Luminous....Each [story] is rich and independent and beautiful and should draw Barrett many new admirers."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

New York Times - Michiko Kakutani

A wonderful clarity and ease,the serene authority of a writer working at the very height of her powers.
