My Dear Hamilton

fullDescription

From the New York Times bestselling authors of America's First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton—a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Haunting, moving, and beautifully written, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before—not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal—but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.

A general's daughter...

Coming of age on the perilous frontier of revolutionary New York, Elizabeth Schuyler champions the fight for independence. And when she meets Alexander Hamilton, Washington's penniless but passionate aide-de-camp, she's captivated by the young officer's charisma and brilliance. They fall in love, despite Hamilton's bastard birth and the uncertainties of war.

A founding father's wife...

But the union they create—in their marriage and the new nation—is far from perfect. From glittering inaugural balls to bloody street riots, the Hamiltons are at the center of it all—including the political treachery of America's first sex scandal, which forces Eliza to struggle through heartbreak and betrayal to find forgiveness.

The last surviving light of the Revolution...

When a duel destroys Eliza's hard-won peace, the grieving widow fights her husband's enemies to preserve Alexander's legacy. But long-buried secrets threaten everything Eliza believes about her marriage and her own legacy. Questioning her tireless devotion to the man and country that have broken her heart, she's left with one last battle—to understand the flawed man she married and imperfect union he could never have created without her...

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton was brought into the contemporary spotlight by the runaway success of the Broadway musical HAMILTON. As the long-suffering wife of one of America's Founding Fathers, Eliza, as she was known, has a poignant and powerful story. Cassandra Campbell is an excellent choice for such a high-profile character. Her smooth style transports listeners back to colonial America and is evidence of her expertise as a narrator. She makes sense of the antiquated speech patterns and outdated vocabulary in a way that is easy on the ears. Fans of the musical, or the biography that inspired it, will listen raptly to this imagined glimpse of Hamilton's wife. Campbell's performance inspires compassion and admiration for this remarkable woman. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

     February 1, 2018
     Eliza Hamilton claims her own place in American history.This latest in the recent onslaught of Hamilton novels (The Hamilton Affair, by Elizabeth Cobbs, 2016, etc.) is narrated by the great man's wife, Eliza, also known by her childhood name of Betsy. Since Eliza is telling the story after her husband's death, her mature perspective often casts doubt on her youthful one, as when she views her initial assessment of Hamilton's loyalty against her later experience of his infidelity. If readers aren't already familiar with Hamilton's imbroglios, his widow's rueful recollections would guarantee spoilers galore. Eliza, the tomboyish daughter of pioneer, planter, slaveholder, general, and politician Philip Schuyler, sets male hearts aflutter, including that of future president James Monroe. Her reputation as "the finest tempered girl in the world" attracts more financially secure suitors, but she chooses Gen. Washington's aide-de-camp, Hamilton, and marries him in 1780. Through Eliza's eyes we are treated to an in-depth portrait of Hamilton, not to mention forward-looking psychoanalysis of his genius and personality defects. With his formidable intellect and powers of concentration, he is able to almost single-handedly shape the new democracy's economy and tax structure. On the other hand, his hypersensitivity due to his illegitimate birth and hardscrabble childhood seems at regular intervals to unravel his best intentions. Episodic rather than plot-driven, the novel suffers from Dray and Kamoie's (America's First Daughter, 2016) seeming inability to choose what to summarize and what to depict as scenes in the book. Cliffhangers introduced very early are dropped, such as the first time Hamilton rides off to quell a mutiny, or take far too long to pay off, like a hinted-at romance between Hamilton and Eliza's sister Angelica. Still, the novel is unflinching in detailing Eliza's reactions, for example in her fraught encounters with Monroe throughout her life, her pre-duel compassion for Aaron Burr, and her many frustrations as Hamilton's helpmeet, moral center, and de facto literary executor.Hamilton often took Eliza's advice but, the authors imply, not often enough.
