"Convincingly resurrected by Marie Benedict, Mileva Marie
Einstein is a crusading scientist undone by love.
The Other
Einstein
is a fascinating glimpse into the failings of Albert
Einstein as a husband and father. Mileva Marie fully deserves
this welcome spotlight."
"Marie Benedict brings us into the life and times of Mileva
Marie Einstein, Albert's first wife. A brilliant mathematician
in her own right, Mileva and Albert plan a life together of
equal scholarship, but Albert's ambitions and Mileva's role as
a wife and mother at the turn of the twentieth century make
this an impossibility. Could the theory of relativity actually
have been conceived by 'the other Einstein'? In this fascinating
and thoughtful novel, we learn that this is more than possible."
"Beautifully written and filled with fascinating historical
detail,
The Other Einstein
is a finely drawn portrait of not
only what it was like to be a woman in love with physics at
that time, but also what it was like to be a woman in love
with the wrong man."
"Superb ... the haunting story of Einstein's brilliant first wife
who was lost in his shadow."
