A captivating story of Nikola Tesla’s life at Wardenclyffe-on-Sound.
Tesla’s Cottage tells the extraordinary story of Nikola Tesla’s life in his Long Island Sound home during the years he was building the Wardenclyffe Tower. Blending history, memoir, and detective story, Barbara Daddino reconstructs a largely forgotten chapter of Tesla’s life — and the extraordinary history of the house she now calls home. Tesla’s Cottage has received four first-prize awards in competitions for independently published books.
“A poetically poignant story.”
Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer
Alternating between past and present, the narrative wends its way through New York City during the Gilded Age, the humble beginnings of Wardenclyffe-on-Sound and the Shoreham of today to discover the man behind his inventions - his perseverance and heartbreaks, triumphs and regrets, and the quarrels and friendships history has long forgotten.
