THE EINSTEIN GIRL

Book ID/图书代码： 11701208B25885

English Summary/英文概要： Thirty years after his death, secret correspondence between Albert Einstein and the Serbian mathematician Mileva Marić was opened to public scrutiny. It revealed for the first time the existence of a daughter born to the couple a year before their marriage. Elisabeth Einstein was delivered on or around January 27th 1902, probably in Titel, a village in the then Austro-Hungarian province of Vojvodina. Her fate remains unknown.
Two months before Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, a beautiful young woman is found naked and near death in the woods outside Berlin. When she finally emerges from a coma, she can remember nothing, not even her own name. The only clue to her identity is a handbill found nearby, advertising a public lecture by Albert Einstein: On the Present State of Quantum Theory. The newspapers instantly christen her ‘the Einstein girl’.
Psychiatrist Martin Kirsch little knows that this will be his last case. Determined at any cost to uncover the truth about ‘Patient E’, he finds professional fascination turning gradually to love. His investigations lead him to a remote corner of Serbia via a psychiatric hospital in Zürich, where the inheritor of Einstein’s genius - his youngest son, Eduard - is writing a book that will destroy his illustrious father and, in the process, change the world.
Intricately researched and relentlessly compelling, THE EINSTEIN GIRL is a mystery about love and the hunger for knowledge; a dark journey into the psychological hinterland of the 20th century’s greatest mind, culminating in an astonishing quantum twist.

书评（前一部小说ZOLA‘S GOLD）
“一部内容丰富、可读性极强的小说！作者把事实与小说内容这两者结合的天衣无缝，不仅熟练游走于时代变迁之中，也穿梭在文化的轮回交替！非常令人满意佩服的佳作，它汇聚了各种值得思考的问题和思绪，抛给读者细细回味和解答！”——Margaret Forster
“真是部叫人叹为观止的原创惊悚小说！Sington不着痕迹地将Zoia私人信件中的摘录与艺术品经销商的阴谋相融合。从俄国革命到二十世纪二十年代的波希米亚巴黎，再到如今瑞典的艺术黑社会，故事发展的步调行走在时间的来回之中。丰富的情感、吸引人的亮点，都是无可预料的心灵震撼！”——Easy Living Magzine
“读者置身于神秘的旋涡，在过去和现在中漂泊。书中引用了Zoia的真实信件，随着恐惧感逐渐渗出，也把读者内心的不安感推到高潮！引人入胜！”——Boston Globe

Awards/获奖情况：Praise for previous title, ZOIA’S GOLD: “... a rich novel, marrying fact and fiction seamlessly, expertly travelling not just between eras but cultures - hugely satisfying, leaving all kinds of thoughts and questions in its wake.” Margaret Forster
“This is a startlingly original thriller. Sington has done his research, and seamlessly blends extracts from Zoia’s moving private letters with a contemporary plot about a former art dealer obsessed with the painter’s life. The book jumps back and forth in time, form the Russian Revolution to 1920s Bohemian Paris and the art underworld in present-day Sweden. Emotional, riveting and unexpected.” Easy Living Magazine
“Gripping… Sington pulls the reader into the mystery… weaving together the past and the present, quoting from Zoia’s actual letters, and deepening the sense of unease, as the horror gradually emerges” Boston Globe
