I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my unbiased opinion. 
 The Other Einstein gives a fictionalized story of Albert Einstein's first wife, Mileva Maric, based around the facts that are known. Maric was born in Serbia and, with her dad's support and guidance, gained entrance to the Polytechnic School in Zurich to study math and physics. There, she faces double discrimination for being both a woman and an Eastern European. However, one of her classmates, Albert Einstein, seems not to look down on her, and a friendship develops and eventually turns into more. 
 As a woman who also majored in math at college, I have so much gratitude for the women like Maric who pioneered the way for gender equality in schools. I do not know if this was part of the known facts or the fictionalized account, but I found it so heartbreaking that Einstein talked to Maric about how they would have a life of studying physics together, and then after university, he slowly took that away from her. It would be interesting to know how her life could have been if she had not started a relationship with Einstein, but I imagine she would not give up her children for whatever that possibility could have been.
