At a second-hand bookstore I bought a biography of Simone Weil and have overheard some conversations about her work, and it looks like her work is very popular. I said I was interested in the biography because of her brother Andre the famous number theorist, and they didn't know she had a brother. Different worlds combined :)

I would say that in France, Simone Weil really is more known than André Weil! And I suggest anyone to read La Condition Ouvrière (I don't know the title in English), which is not only very instructive and moving, but also specially beautiful in my opinion.

"The Weil Conjectures" by Karen Olsson is an interesting read that connects Andre and Simone and the authors own experiences as a math major. I thought it did a good job capture the appeal of math, but it's definitely not about the conjectures or their proof.

She was a great thinker and writer; I highly recommend her works.
