Hamilton's Battalion: A Trio of Romances by Courtney Milan, Alyssa Cole, Rose Lerner

Promised Land, by Rose Lerner

Delightful. Offering someone a certificate of divorce was never so romantic. (Sincerely, it's great.)

Rose Lerner has a fantastic way of taking me back to historical periods I thought I knew and showing me it from another angle. I've read about the American Revolution, for example here. But I hadn't realized how often I'd read from the POV of people who were talking from a period of pretty huge social and economic privilege. And how I'd never read a story about someone who wasn't Christian. I even think everyone was Protestant? Like, yikes. And I knew I'd only heard from people who were white, but I didn't think that would matter (hahah, it always matters, you don't get to hear only the slaveowners and their friends talk and not come up with a skewed view of who lives and who dies).

So. I ship the romance, it's wonderfully, unabashedly Jewish, and it made me think, to boot. Rose Lerner for all the historical books.
