Review by Pam Marr Rybinski
“EMILY AND EINSTEIN” starts off with a powerful and seemingly impossible statement. It invites us into the lives of some people that most of us will recognize, at least by personality type. The author explores the frustrating consequences to Emily of her high-powered husband’s New York City traffic death, and the grasping nature of his highly-influential family. Emily is comforted by Einstein, a scruffy mutt who enters her life shortly after her husband’s death and mesmerizes her into adopting him.
Out of frustrating loss and seemingly impossible situations, Upper West Side of Manhattan resident and author, Linda Francis Lee, offers the possibility of love and redemption to her characters. Readers will quickly see themselves or someone they know in her characters. Knowing and loving New York City is not necessary for one to enjoy reading “Emily and Einstein,” but it does add an extra layer of enjoyment.
