While practicing as a NYC lawyer, Marie dreamed of a fantastical job unearthing the hidden historical stories of women - and finally found it when she tried her hand at writing. Marie Benedict is a lawyer with more than ten years' experience as a commercial litigator at two of the country's premier law firms. 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. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. 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. Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. 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. Poe, The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. In the tradition of The Paris Wife and Mrs. A vivid and mesmerizing novel about the extraordinary woman who married and worked with one of the greatest scientists in history, written by New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict!
