Three Women and Alfred Nobel

Vienna, late nineteenth century. Three women are after the acclaimed scientist Alfred Nobel...

Ida wants revenge for the death of her lover, who has been killed in an industrial accident at Nobel's factory. Sophie wants compensation for the abuse she suffered as Nobel's mistress. Bertie wants Nobel to atone for his lethal invention and spend the profit from his dynamite factories on the advancement of peace.

Nobel was a pioneering scientist and inventor. His greatest invention was dynamite, however his controversial creation both secured and plagued his place in history. Was Nobel the ogre the three women make him out to be or the genius and the philanthropist everyone else sees in him? Are the women justified in their demands, or are their motives not quite what they appear to be? Their hunt turns into a journey of adventure, desperate measures, and ultimately self-discovery.

Three Women and Alfred Nobel is a moving novel that explores the social constraints placed on women, the traumatic effects of war on men, and the challenges threatening peace in 19th century Europe, all told from the perspective of the women closest to Nobel himself.
