The time frame of the war, the challenges women on the home front faced, and the problems of men enlisting in the war were portrayed excellently in this book.
I have a BA in History, and it is hard to find historical fictions that have somewhat relevant information in them. I loved that the author did her research before writing this book. I enjoyed the historical references throughout this novel. I wanted to read this one since I am a part of a blog tour for the next book in the series. I listened to this book on audio but will read the print version of the next in the series. This book is my second historical fiction read of this year, and the author did a great job portraying the story of Eliz and Alex. The story of Eliza and Alex marks my first time reading a book written by this author, and I adored the writing style used. And when Alex and Eliza meet that fateful night, so begins an epic love story that would forever change the course of American history.
Though Alex has arrived as the bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can’t believe his luck-as an orphan, and a bastard one at that-to be in such esteemed company. Still, she can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington’s right-hand man.
Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country’s founding families, and even prouder still of their three daughters-Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit Peggy, with her dazzling looks and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival that of both her sisters, though she’d rather be aiding the colonists’ cause than dressing up for some silly ball. The comments in this review do not reflect the views of the author or the publisher.Īs battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society’s biggest events: the Schuylers’ grand ball. I checked out a copy of this book from my local library. Next Book in the Series: Love & War: An Alex and Eliza Story (Releases in April)ĭisclaimer: This review is solely my opinion.
