Reviews
"Benedict's debut novel carefully traces Mileva's life--from studious schoolgirl to bereaved mother--with attention paid to the conflicts between personal goals and social conventions. An intriguing... reimagining of one of the strongest intellectual partnerships of the 19th century." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Superb...the haunting story of Einstein's brilliant first wife who was lost in his shadow." -- Sue Monk Kidd, NYT bestselling author of The Invention of Wings, The Secret Life of Bees, and The Mermaid Chair, "A crusading scientist undone by love....revealing, enlightening." -- Nuala O'Connor, author of Miss Emily, "In The Other Einstein Marie Benedict brings us into the life and times of Mileva Mari? 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." - B.A. Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of The Art Forger and The Muralist, "...an ENGAGING and THOUGHT PROVOKING fictional telling of the poignant story of an overshadowed woman scientist." -- Booklist, "Many will enjoy Benedict's feminist views and be fascinated by the life of an almost unknown woman." -- RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars, "The Other Einstein takes you into Mileva's heart, mind, and study as she tries to forge a place for herself in a scientific world dominated by men. " -- Bustle, "In The Other Einstein Marie Benedict brings us into the life and times of Mileva Mari? Einstein, Albert's first wife.

Benedict makes a strong case that the brilliant woman behind [Albert Einstein] was integral to his success, and creates a rich historical portrait in the process." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
"Superb...the haunting story of Einstein's brilliant first wife who was lost in his shadow."--Sue Monk Kidd, New York Times bestselling author of The Invention of Wings, The Secret Life of Bees, and The Mermaid Chair "The Other Einstein takes you into Mileva's heart, mind, and study as she tries to forge a place for herself in a scientific world dominated by men."--Bustle From the author of The Mystery of Mrs. Christie, in the tradition of The Paris Wife and Mrs. Poe, The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. It is the story of Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated and may have been inspired by her own profound and very personal insight. Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

Other Bestselling Historical Fiction from Marie Benedict: The Mystery of Mrs. Christie Lady Clementine The Only Woman in the Room Carnegie's Maid, A vivid and mesmerizing novel about the extraordinary woman who married and worked with one of the greatest scientists in history What secrets may have lurked in the shadows of Albert Einstein's fame? His first wife, Mileva "Mitza" Mari, was more than the devoted mother of their three children - she was also a brilliant physicist in her own right, and her contributions to the special theory of relativity have been hotly debated for more than a century. In 1896, the extraordinarily gifted Mileva is the only woman studying physics at an elite school in Zürich. There, she falls for charismatic fellow student Albert Einstein, who promises to treat her as an equal in both love and science. But as Albert's fame grows, so too does Mileva's worry that her light will be lost in her husband's shadow forever. A literary historical in the tradition of The Paris Wife and Mrs. Poe , The Other Einstein reveals a complicated partnership that is as fascinating as it is troubling. "...an engaging and thought provoking fictional telling of the poignant story of an overshadowed woman scientist." - review from Booklist, One of PopSugar's "25 Books You're Going to Curl Up with this Fall."

- e***l (876)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaBook is in excellent condition. It did arrive a week and a half later than it was originally supposed to. I reached out to the seller which took a bit of time to receive a response. The book was a good value and it did ship in a bubble envelope which always helps with protecting the books from postal handling/damage.
- d***a (53)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaShipping took a little longer than it initially said but the book still arrived just as described in fantastic condition. I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging though, as it was just wrapped in a simple thin plastic sleeve with zero cushion or padding and I've had books completely destroyed because there was nothing to protect them so if possible I'd like to see the seller provide a safer package when shipping books. But thankfully mine wasn't damaged in transit!STATION HILL BLANCHOT READER, Blanchot, Maurice, 9781886449176 (#197410139171)
