In this compelling memoir enriched by exclusive photographs and extra material, Stephen Hawking's first wife Jane Hawking relates the inside story of their extraordinary marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of motor neurone disease, and Jane's candid account of trying to balance his 24-hour care with the needs of their growing family will be inspirational to anyone dealing with family illness. The inner-strength of the author, and the self-evident character and achievements of her husband, make for an incredible tale that is always presented with unflinching honesty; the author's candour is no less evident when the marriage finally ends in a high-profile meltdown, with Stephen leaving Jane for one of his nurses, while Jane goes on to marry an old family friend. In this exceptionally open, moving and often funny memoir, Jane Hawking confronts not only the acutely complicated and painful dilemmas of her first marriage, but also the faultlines exposed in a relationship by the pervasive effects of fame and wealth. The result is a book about optimism, love and change that will resonate with readers everywhere.

Vendeur : Carothers and Carothers, Albany, CA, Etats-Unis
Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 403 pages, 12 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations. This is an imperfect copy, though its flaws probably seem worse when described than when seen. Faint dampstaining to front board, the resulting loss of sizing creating a patch of slightly duller black than the black surrounding it. The dampstaining is visible on the verso of the front panel of the dust jacket though it is not visible from the jacket's exterior. The spine shows a slight cant. Otherwise a good clean copy of the book. 790 grams. N° de réf. du vendeur 007480
