misajane79 's review for:

American Bloomsbury: Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau: Their Lives, Their Loves, Their Work by Susan Cheever
2.0
If I was a teacher, this book would be covered in red ink. Weird narrative flow, inaccuracies and great awkwardness whenever she tried to insert herself into the story. So much potential, such a rich topic and ultimately, very disappointing. I never quite figured out what she was trying to do.

If you're craving more information about these folks, read Eden's Outcasts--a much longer book, but far superior.
