Summer reading has started and as an avid book reader, I
decided that in order to keep track of the number of books I have read, I would start
my own book blog. As a book lover, I do
not discriminate. Therefore, in this
blog you will find book reviews are various book genres. Each week (or once I have completed a book) I
will posted a brief synopsis and my own personal thoughts. Without further ado, here is my first
review. J
The Hamilton Affair by Elizabeth Cobbs
The subject of Alexander Hamilton has certainly become very
popular since Lin Manuel Miranda created the Tony award winning musical,
Hamilton. I had come across this novel
when searching on Goodreads for a historical fiction novel. I have never seen the musical, but the brief
synopsis on the website had me intrigued.
Cobbs is able to take the reader through the life of
Alexander and Elizabeth Hamilton. From
their upbringing, courtship, marriage, and during Alexander’s work in establishing
America’s economy, The Hamilton Affair is a work of fiction with elements of
history. The story is able to draw in
the reader to view the lives of these two individuals during the time America
was declaring their independence from England.
The Hamilton Affair is the first novel of my June TBR (to be
read), and I was able to complete this in 3 days. I was able to learn some new information
about the man who impacted America. This
story has everything from romance to betrayal and war to
self-determination. I would definitely
recommend this book to individuals who are interested in learning about
Alexander and Eliza Hamilton, or to anyone who would like to read a good
historical romance novel.
Sounds like a good read! Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for suggestions.
