Is this good? Became interested after this mention in some Gifted movie review
>Let’s see the nuts and bolts, the emotional turmoil, the breakthroughs and defeats, the unnerving manifestations of the trainee’s innate ability, the distinctions between what comes naturally and what must be studied and practiced regardless of talent. Additionally, while generally a controlling parent does not need a gifted child to be controlling – any child will do – there is a specific kind of troubled dynamics that can exist between a gifted but traumatized mother and her similarly, only more, gifted daughter. If these are things you’re interested in, skip “Gifted” and read N.K. Jemisin’s “The Obelisk Gate” instead. I confirm from my own experience that she gets it just about right, and I would love to see a story similar in depth and scope to Jemisin’s mother and daughter thread where the protagonists are female mathematicians.
