Jane Hawking, divorced wife of Professor Stephen Hawking and mother of his three children has written this extraordinary and eloquent memoir which relates the story of a marriage begun in optimism, despite facing the terrible odds of motor neurone disease, and of its gradual decline which became inescapably apparent as Hawking's academic career and renown began to soar.
Jane Hawking writes movingly of her marriage and remembers the vigorous young man with whom she fell in love prior to the onset of his debilitating motor neurone disease. These experiences, coupled with the author's evident inner-strength can offer inspiration to others faced with a similar family situation.
