Postuum review by Nelleke Posthumus Meyjes

When you see the beautiful cover of Postuum by Nelleke Posthumus Meyjes, you want to know who the man on the cover is. You get the feeling that he's lost his mind and you want to know what he's thinking about. It's nice that the cover is also placed on the back, but lighter, so that the text on the back is clearly legible. The title makes you curious about the book. The subtitle gives a glimpse of what you can expect from the book. Few people will notice the name 'Ehrenfest', many people won't know who he was, although there will also be people who know it.
In Postuum by Nelleke Posthumus Meyjes, you follow the lives of three people. Paul Ehrenfest, who is a professor of physics and is not inferior to his best friend, Albert Einstein. Nevertheless, in 1933, his life will end in a tragedy. His mistress is the decent one, ahead of her time, Nelly Posthumus Meyjes. The question is whether she can help Paul or whether she will be his downfall. For those who paid close attention, yes, the author is her family.
