I am getting a bit bogged down with Tamara de Lempicka. Another egomaniac forging a career in 1920s Paris. So started 'the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' by Rebecca Scloot. Fascinating story of a woman whose cancer cells were taken for biological research. Lots of interesting stuff on science, ethics, race, social history. Enjoying very much.

I remember that because HeLa cells were often referred to when I was a student.
