Wow. This book blew me right out of a deep reading slump … I even lost some sleep to listen to this book. Btw, the audiobook is excellent.
I have rarely read works about the Revolutionary era … and at times, I wondered how accurately the female-male relationships were portrayed … but I found all of it to be fascinating. I felt that I was in the Hook, on Mill Creek, in this book.
The writing is explicit at times … shockingly at points and enjoyably at others (you know what I mean!) … but it all serves to create a Martha Ballard that you will feel like you know personally. And that ending … 💪
The author’s note at the end is fascinating. Beautiful work, Ms. Lawhon.
