A review by ilaria_ilady
Travelling to Infinity by Jane Hawking

5.0

After watching the film, I decided to read to book "The Theory of Everything" is based on. I was really astonished since, being the film a beautiful one, to my opinion the book is even better. Indeed, this is the personal story of Jane Hawking about her life with the famous scientist. The point of view is just her one and I really liked to follow her struggles in balancing her love for Stephen and for their children with her ambition as a women. The book is also very interesting because it describes how difficult life can be for a disable person, for the person herself, the family, how social life can be developed and how can the social system provide an help. While the film tells both the story of Stephen and Jane by presenting his career's success, the book is more intimate and just based on the female point of view of his wife. One of the best book I've read recently.
