I was kept guessing throughout this book which seemed straightforward until it started twisting and turning. It was gripping.

I love Georgette Heyer but it was almost unbearable because of the reader. So nasally and grating when doing the female voices.

Story
Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most 20-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza 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 fascinating story about a seemingly forgotten woman who clearly played an important part in Einstein’s life. It sadly is not a new story about a woman’s destiny of obscurity in history.
