“Barbara Daddino has achieved the impossible… Not only has she discovered new material about Tesla’s laboratory and his house on Long Island Sound, she has chronicled the careers of previously unknown friends and colleagues living and interacting with the great wizard. If you want to learn something new about this brilliant inventor, this is the book to read.”
— Mark J. Seifer, PhD., author of Wizard, the
Life and Times of Nicola Tesla
“If only all biographies and memoirs could be as beautifully rendered! Tesla aficionados will definitely want to add this book to their bookshelves; readers who like Gilded Age and turn-of-the-last century will also find this a superb read.”
— Kathryn Picard, Librarian Book Connoisseur
“Imagine the serendipity of being able to buy your dream home and then finding it was once the home of Nikola Tesla…. one of the most fascinating and complicated figures of the Golden Age. Daddino’s easy-to-read style is complemented by interviews, photos and inside information about Tesla’s life. The book reveals the humanity of Tesla and is a fascinating look at a consequential moment in our history. Highly recommended.”
- John Kelly, Detroit Free Press, 5-Stars
As a history buff, with little scientific knowledge, this is a terrific slice of a great man’s life. Nikola Tesla and his story are amazing, with inspiration, heartache and tragedy in his life, yet ‘Tesla’s Cottage’ brings a fresh look and feeling about the one who changed the world.
- Brad Butler, Author of 'Without Redemption' 5-Stars

— W. Bernard Carlson, author of Tesla:
Inventor of the Electrical Age
“From the very first pages, ‘Tesla’s Cottage’ captivates with its intimate portrait of Nikola Tesla, not just as the legendary inventor, but as a man with emotions, dreams, and struggles.”
