It wasn't that big of a factor for me (as I took it as part of the world building re: agoraphobia and internalization) but I definitely see where you're coming from.<br /><br />I couldn't even begin to speak about the troublesome third angle of the love triangle because it would have certainly been a paragraph (or two) or "but why" haha, so I'm glad you got that covered for me.<br /><br />In any case, I'm still happy people enjoyed this novel. I'm still unsure if it's a case of me-not-you but maybe I'll reflect on this in a years time when I'm not so emotionally invested in the terribly plotted ending...<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><b><a href="http://anotherafterthought.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts.</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187302622060103538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138396732996544279.post-27861361118828528792017-01-03T08:59:15.174-05:002017-01-03T08:59:15.174-05:00I completely agree.

I thought that the whole book had a feminist undertone which I could appreciate, even though Mileva wasn't treated fairly at points in the book she was portrayed as a strong and fierce character. After this, my whole view on Einstein shifted a bit, because before this I didn't know a lot about his personal life.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting by the way!

It was an interesting perspective the author chose to give all the credit to Mileva and to show how much hardships she faced, putting Albert Einstein as the ultimate villain.

That's exactly what I thought didn't happen :( And the other clichés are also disappointing, especially the popular girl as an antagonist.
