America's First Daughter by Stephanie Dray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As my 4 stars indicate, I really liked this book. The author put me right into the time frame of Thomas Jefferson. Written through the eyes of his daughter (who I sometimes liked and sometimes hated) I learned about life during and after the American and French revolutions. The early years of our country certainly had its growing pains. The historical elements were fascinating and the fiction believable. I think it is a great "discussion" book, but being 500+ pages I'm hesitant to recommend it to my book club. If you do read it, please share your thoughts as I'm interested in with others think.
