The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family by Annette Gordon-Reed
4.0
Listened via Hoopla.
Long non-fiction books are best read by audiobook- any repetition is less bothersome. I found this book very informative. It was repetitive and speculative at times, but when you're filling in gaps of history, it gets that way. Also fun to hear Fawn Brodie's name throughout as a reference. She got around as a historian!
I would say it is worth a listen, but it is very long.
