Travelling to infinity
Physicists' spouses, Patients, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
The wife of the reknowned British physicist describes their courtship and marriage, her years caring for his physical needs, his rise to prominence as a scientist and world celebrity, their bitter divorce, and later reconciliation. Stephen Hawking's first wife, Jane, relates the inside story of their marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of a motor neuron disease. Jane's candid account of trying to balance his 24-hour care with the needs of their growing family reveals her inner strength, while the self-evident character and achievements of her husband make for an incredible tale presented with unflinching honesty.
