Summary
At last, somewhere rational, even on a map, Göttingen! What a lovely place to set the scene for romance for Kit, and to finally get to know the real star of the show, Yashmeen. Oh, o-oh. Never mind. Is it all just history and math, now? Wow. Great job, with the "podcast dedicated to books" there.
