Enjoyable reading about the life of Eliza Hamilton
I enjoyed reading this book. I knew very little about Alexander Hamilton's private life and zero about his wife and family. This book was a wonderful eye opening look at an unknown, unheralded woman.
Tilar provided all realms of thought regarding the infidelity of Alexander. Regardless of what may have been the truth, Elizabeth Hamilton held to the path she had chosen. I am always amazed at the length of years the quiet heroins lived.
