An enthralling, revealing portrait of the marriage of George and Martha Washington, from bestselling biographer Flora Fraser

Recenzje

Flora Fraser has provided an insightful portrait in elegant prose with a dash of wit. The book is based on a mastery of the original sources and brings to life, with much imagination, a wonderful marriage in a period of revolution and war. It is written with a light touch, but is a serious account in every respect. This is a book worthy of its subject Robert Middlekauf, author of The Glorious Cause
