by Marie Benedict This is Historical Fiction, but based on a real person who was the first wife of Albert Einstein and one of the few women of her time to have an education in Physics. Her name was Mileva Marić. The story is told in first person and for me seemed very realistic, showing Mileva's...

Even as a fictional story about a relationship, the book stays at the surface; no insight is given as...
