That being said, the book is quite boring and sad. It took me over a month to finish reading because nothing much happens except for fictionalized accounts of Mileva Marić's inner thoughts and feelings. It's a shame she didn't get to be more than a dutiful wife and mother. I appreciate the author's goal, but it didn't earn a place on my bookshelf.
