Book: The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict
Reviewed by Book Holds and Jello Molds
Rating: 4/5
The Other Einstein is my favorite kind of historical fiction- one that tells the story of a person or event that I know nothing about. MIleva Maric Einstein was a brilliant physics student when she met Albert at school in Zurich. This novel really highlights the difficulties women back then, especially Eastern European women, faced in academia. I really enjoyed the care Marie Benedict took in taking these wholly human people and crafting a story of love and betrayal that is, unfortunately, all too real in many relationships. I can't wait to read more by her.
