Update: Well, I finished A Theory of Relativity. It was only okay. The story was interesting: Couple dies in tragic car crash. Leaves one-year old daughter behind. Wife’s/mother’s family (brother) assumes responsibility in raising orphan. UNTIL…husband’s/father’s family (cousin) decides they want custody. A long, drawn-out custody case ensues, complicated by the fact that the wife/mother and her brother were adopted and so of no blood relation. I’ve read this author before and liked her but this book was too wordy and contrived. There were so many better ways this story could have been written (maybe the author should have consulted me). By the end of the novel, I started skipping through all the wordy crap.
