  • Dive into History

    From the beginning this book held my attention. If you aren’t interested in this period in history you may not agree. The characters were very well drawn. The writing conjured imagery throughout. A great read!

  • Book of the Year!

    Incredibly well researched, immensely entertaining and another angle on what we know about Eliza Hamilton, her husband and the formative times she lived in. Notes regarding Lin Manuel’s Hamilton and this book offer insights to both. Historical fiction at its impeccable best.
