Book Overview
From the New York Times bestselling author of Irena's Children comes a "vivid, compelling, and unputdownable new biography" (Christopher Andersen, #1 New York Times bestselling author) about the extraordinary life and times of Eliza Hamilton, the wife of founding father Alexander Hamilton, and a powerful, unsung hero in America's early days. Fans fell in love with Eliza Hamilton--Alexander Hamilton's devoted wife--in Lin-Manuel Miranda's phenomenal musical Hamilton. But they don't know her full story. A strong pioneer woman, a loving sister, a caring mother, and in her later years, a generous philanthropist, Eliza had many sides--and this fascinating biography brings her multi-faceted personality to vivid life. This "expertly told story" (Publishers Weekly) follows Eliza through her early years in New York, into the ups and downs of her married life with Alexander, beyond the aftermath of his tragic murder, and finally to her involvement in many projects that cemented her legacy as one of the unsung heroes of our nation's early days. This captivating account of the woman behind the famous man is perfect for fans of the works of Ron Chernow, Lisa McCubbin, and Nathaniel Philbrick.

Great read
Published by Melissa M. , 3 years ago
Although the author seemed to take some artistic license in setting the scene throughout parts of the book I felt it did not take away from the story of Eliza. If anything it helps the reader grow closer to Eliza Hamilton, of whom so little was known prior to the now famous musical. As you read, you see Eliza as more than a historical figure. Readers will find themselves relating to Eliza as she balances her marriage and responsibility of being a mother. I enjoyed this book and found myself staying up more than one late night to read just a little more.
