Loved it! A look at the founding of America in the most inter-personal of levels. It stands as a story all on its own with love, war, and political intrigue. But the ability to look at the beginning of America from the perspective of men who sat around kitchen tables or drank cold coffee or played with each other's kids - it’s hard to think of history more presented any more personally.
The authors are coming to visit our school in September. It will be hard to let the kids ask the questions. I could ask a thousand and not be done. Most of them about research and writers' craft.

A good historical novel but a slow trod at parts. Enjoyed the development of Eliza through the years. Glad I did this one as an audiobook.

I just don’t think I was all the interested. I am going to try again when life slows down. The first third of the book was really slow. I heard great things about this book and I believe them. I just could not get into at this moment.

A wonderful addition to the Hamilton story. I loved hearing from Eliza.

I have not been this impressed with a book in a while. I was drawn in on the very first page and did not want to put it down. I felt like Eliza was a force to be reckoned with and I loved reading about her life, growing up on the frontier, and being married to Alex Hamilton. If half of what the authors wrote is true then Eliza Hamilton had an amazing impact on American History.

An interesting fictionalized look behind the stories and letters that were left behind at our nation's founding.

It's based on history, so it includes the messier aspects but tries to handle them delicately.dana_w71's review against another edition
