What a great road trip! A journalist, whose long-term relationship may or may not be dissolving, offers to drive across country in a rental car to deliver Einstein's brain (really, it's Einstein's brain!) to Einstein's granddaughter. It seems the pathologist who autopsied Einstein after his death may years ago couldn't bear to think of what might happen to his brain, so he took it home--and kept it. It has been with him longer than any of his 3 wives or even his kids, cost him jobs and relationships. Now he agrees that at least some of it should go to the closest living relative, Einstein's granddaughter--who isn't sure why he's bringing it or what she would do with the brain. An unimaginable road trip and a great story! Loved this book!
