Still She Haunts Me (2001)

Katie Roiphe

A novel about the life of Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll). I have not read it, and it most certainly focuses more on his affections for Alice than on his mathematics, but I suppose there must be at least some math in it! Please let me know if you've read it.

Including the Law of gravity, and other bits of equations; these relate in 'Stll she Haunts me'- to Charles Dodgson's feeling of seperation and his obsession with alice. This is a beautifully written novel, but don't get your hopes up if you're reading this for the mathematical value.
