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

5.0

This book is a delight from beginning to end. All three novellas are wonderful, and I love the mix of relationships (m/m, m/f, and f/f). I picked it up more for the authors than for the Hamilton theme. Hamilton himself (or, more precisely, Eliza Hamilton's search for stories about him after his death) provides the frame for the collection, and he is a minor character in one or two of the novellas, but the draw here is the beautifully told hopeful romances set during the youth of the nation.

The theme here is that love and meaningful lives can flower and persist in the midst of difficulty and oppression. A resonant theme in any era, but most particularly in such a time as this. Highly recommended.
