Book Blurb:
A new aspect of the greatest scientist of all times is brought forth in Ana Atanasković’s new book. The author dug deep to discover a softer side of Nikola Tesla. His social gatherings with the most famous individuals of his time, friendships with poets, writers and other visionaries, his impeccable sense of style were all kept on the margins of Tesla’s scientific brilliance. Ana masterfully revisits his ties to a woman whose life was forever changed by the Serbian wizard in a story full of emotions of the noble female heart. The reader is transported to the late 19th century New York with a flick of the page, to the time when magic existed, wizards walked the earth, and the heart of a dutiful wife contained the secrets of the universe.
His Review:
Katherine McMahon Johnson is married to Robert Johnson who adores her. She is the light of his life and he does everything he can to make her happy. Her marriage is a good one. The problem is that they have met Nikola Tesla. He is tall and brilliant and she is swept off her feet. Nikola on the other hand is a faithful friend to her husband and repulses her overtures.
Katherine fantasizes about a complete physical relationship with Nikola throughout her life. She raises children with Robert and they are placed at various embassies around the world representing our government. The problem is her infatuation never wavers. She recognizes her problem but cannot forget about Nikola and his aristocratic demeanor.
Her fantasies ultimately make her ill and reclusive. Neither her husband nor her children can shake her lust for Nikola. Even when stationed in foreign countries she continues to obsess over him! Such obsessive behavior and lust are overwhelming in their driving nature.
The narrative is at times slow paced and repetitive. Had hoped for a bit more Nikola and a little less obsessed Katherine. 3.5 stars – CE Williams

Thank you for reading my novel. I am sad to hear you find it slow paced, but I appreciate your honest opinion.

Thank you for the kind comment. Perhaps he meant more that he’d have appreciated a greater emphasis on Tesla, less on the woman’s

Well, there are so many books with the emphasis on Tesla, I really think that writing about the woman who really loved him all her life deserves a book. And she deserves her story to be told. Writing about Tesla is something we have already seen. And, under her obsession there was love. Love deserves to be presented.

Agree with you, though it was a real obsession and the CE tended to look for more on Tesla. Usually, he enjoys romance more than I, which is another reason I assigned to him.

Tesla would be interesting to read about. Whilst his is a famous name I am sure there are many around who perhaps wouldn’t know about his achievements.
Thanks for reviewing this book for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge!

Oh, I see now, CE. Well, the book is full of emotions and introspections, and maybe his is a scientific attitude. Respect it, though.
