The goddess of small victories

"Princeton University, 1980. A young and unambitious librarian named Anna Roth is assigned the task of retrieving the records of Kurt Go˜del--the most fascinating and hermetic mathematician of the 20th century.

But as Anna soon finds out, Adele has a story of her own to tell"--Amazon.com.
