It is said that behind every successful man there stands a devoted
and capable woman. The three famous chemists Perkin, Kipping and
their collaborator Lapworth married three sisters: Mina, Lily, and
Kathleen Holland. The three Holland sisters kept their husbands in
close and very productive collaboration throughout their lives,
thereby greatly increasing their scientific output. They functioned
as a productive scientific family. However, the life and work of
the men is thoroughly documented, but little is known about their
wives. Professor Eugene G. Rochow, a world-renowned scientist,
wrote this biographical historical novel with the help of a
grandson, Dr. Brian Kipping. Professor Rochow did not intend to
write a bare-bones biography. He took care to make the book
factually accurate. Wherever there are no facts, he has not
hesitated to flesh out the account with imagination and actual
experience of others in order to make the text more readable.
