Adelaide Binchley is probably the only fortysomething housewife and junior college dropout ever to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics, and she's certainly the only one whose career was launched by a bedpan. When Addie meets Physics professor Jakob Pankowicz, she discovers that having just one person see a greater potential in her, and believe in her even when she doesn't believe in herself, is all she needs to escape her self-imposed limits. In this hilarious and touching novel, as she navigates the rough territory created by her teenage-feminist daughter, borderline delinquent son, philandering husband, and the friends in her embroidery circle, Addie finds when one person selflessly reaches out to another, that gesture has the power to change the world.

Adelaide Einstein is a fabulous book filled with wonderfully believable characters. After just a few chapters I was hooked and found myself so drawn into their lives that the pages flew by as I devoured all their details. I also loved April Hamilton's handling of the science in this book - everything was written in comfortable layman's language but nothing seemed "dumbed down" and it will easily awaken the inner Einstein of any reader.
Best of all, this novel is pure heart. A sort of modern day Fried Green Tomatoes with a smattering of Quantum Physics, Adelaide Einstein is a smart and humorous story of friendship, family, motivation, and the courage to follow the unconventional path. This last theme is echoed most clearly not only by the character of Adelaide Binchley, but through her talented author. April Hamilton is a champion of the Indie Author movement - striving to bring independent authors the same status as their counterparts in music and film. This makes Adelaide Einstein not only a wholly enjoyable novel but a worthwhile purchase for the ideology it supports! ( )
