nickieandremus 's review for:
The Engineer's Wife
by Tracey Enerson Wood
*** I received an advanced e-copy from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review
This book tells the story of Emily Roebling, wife to Washington "Wash" Roebling, who was the engineer who designed and built the Brooklyn Bridge. When he fell ill, Emily stepped up and filled in for him. She was also instrumental in the suffragette movement.
Parts of this book were really interesting, but other parts read more like a romance novel between Mrs. Roebling and PT Barnum. I would have preferred to have had much more of the first and a lot less of the second. Overall, it was an informative book about a part of history that I was not that knowledgeable about before now.
