The Other Einstein by Marie BenedictMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was very invested in this story. I was happy/upset to hear that this is mostly a true story. The supporting materials the author used to research for the book is all available for free on Princeton's website. I read several of Einstein's letters online and they're very similar to what Benedict put in her book. Her writing style lent to my empathizing a lot with Mileva's toxic relationship with Albert. I do, however, realize that this account in told in only Mileva's POV to be fair to Albert. A member of my book group noted that he'd be more interested to read a book that included the POVs of both Albert and his mother, Mrs. Einstein. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in historical fiction and enjoyed books like "The Aviator's Wife", etc.
Rating: 4.25/5 stars
