The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict

dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.0

This was really good and completely turned some of my thoughts on Albert Einstein on their head. Previously, the first book I'd read of this type was Half Life about Madame Curie. While I enjoyed the science and story of Mitza in this book, the writing didn't entrance me quite as much as Half Life had. However, the story of Mitza was an emotional one and I can relate to both the notion of others taking credit for one's ideas, as well as the notion that sometimes we dim our own lights to appease others. Overall, a good read especially if you enjoy science and/or reading about overlooked historical figures.
