A novel about Mileva Einstein in English

In her novel Theory of Sorrow, Slavenka Drakulić looks at Albert Einstein through the prism of his relationship with his first wife, the Serbian physicist, Mileva Marić, who gave up a potentially promising career in science to be his wife and mother to his children. Her fate is a chilling reminder of women’s fight for emancipation and equality in a male world.
