Reilly has no pretentions to being a literary author but he does write thrilling page turners and this is no exception. The story of Hannah Fisher, childhood neighbour of Albert Einstein and a sort of female, super-intelligent Forrest Gump, is a romp through the horrors of Weimar Germany, prohibition New York and the rise and fall of the NAZI party. Hannah is forced by circumstances to give up studying physics and train as a secretary, a career that gives her access to the most powerful men of the era - from American industrialists, to top NAZIs and on occasion Einstein himself. Whilst the plot is sometimes ridiculous (twins!) and full of wild coincidences it's a cracking read and, I suspect, will act as a primer in early 20th century history to many younger people who may not have studied this at school. Given the current rise of right wing "strong men" around the world I would call this a timely book. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
All Hanna Fischer ever wanted to do was to study physics under the great Albert Einstein. But when, as a teenager in 1919, her life is suddenly turned upside-down, she is catapulted into a new and extraordinary life - as a secretary, a scientist, a sister and a spy. From racist gangs in Berlin to gangsters in New York City, Nazis in the 1930s and Hitler's inner circle during the Second World War, Hanna will encounter some of history's greatest minds and most terrible moments, all while desperately trying to stay alive. She is a unique secretary and she will work for many bosses - from shrewd businessmen to vile Nazis, to the greatest boss of them all, Mr Albert Einstein. Spanning 40 years, this is the thrilling tale of a young woman propelled through history's most dangerous times. But read it carefully, because all may not be as it seems ...
