Now a major motion picture starring Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking
and Felicity Jones as his wife Jane. It chronicles their relationship,
from his early development of ALS to his success in physics
In this compelling memoir, Jane Hawking, Stephen
Hawking's first wife, relates the inside story of their extraordinary
marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was collapsing
under the assaults of motor-neuron disease, and Jane's candid account of
trying to balance his twenty-four-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 fault lines 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.
