I did enjoy reading about her backstory and upbringing.Īda was an interesting character to explore. Chiaverini then continued the story by following Ada from her birth to her unfortunate early death in 1852. I found this to be a useful and interesting addition to the story, which helped to set up a better understanding of how Ada's life ended up being what it was. I have previously read The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage by Sydney Padua, so I am familiar with the figures of Ada and Charles Babbage, but I was interested to read more about Ada herself from a more directed point of view.Ĭhiaverini begins the novel by first telling the story of Lord Byron and Lady Annebella Byron's initial meeting and eventual relationship. I am always interested in novels that discuss the lesser-known roles that women have played in large discoveries throughout history-and there are quite a lot-so I was extremely intrigued to read more about Ada Lovelace. 448 pages.Įnchantress of Numbers is a fascinating look into the life of Ada Lovelace and her role in the development of computer programming. Enchantress of Numbers by Jennifer Chiaverini.
