Surprise Aug '17 EME from Shaunie. =) Mitzi Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, or studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitzi 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 her world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but Albert proves to be less the man than she hoped he’d be. Mileva Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Mileva 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. This was a well-written fictionalized story that drew me in to the difficulties that Mileva encountered growing up since she didn’t fit in. Then being one of a very few women to enter the Polytechnic School to study physics, she had more obstacles as most me didn’t think she should be there. But that changed when she became friends with Albert and his friends and eventually married. The story is written believably as it shows how their relationship slowly falls apart. Interesting and enjoyable with many parts based on fact. no reviews | add a review

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.
