A review by cari1268
Mrs. Lincoln's Rival by Jennifer Chiaverini

3.0

I learned a lot reading this book! It made me want to get back into Team of Rivals. I genuinely enjoyed the historical information.

However, as a narrative this didn't work. The book should be titled, Salmon P. Chase: As Seen Through His Daughter's Eyes. Kate Chase very much felt like a mechanism to provide information on her father. Very little of this book is actually about her.

The only part that focused on Kate was her romance. I kept rooting for her to break up with William Sprague and late, I was hoping he died young.

3 Stars.
