Oh, my. I have only read a few pages, but I can already tell that this will be my favorite book of the year! It is easy to read.....I don't know how Mary Higgins Clark makes reading history so enticing. And it is hard to say how much is imagination and how much is really based on documents and research. But here is a good example of why I like the book so well. The scene is the last day of George Washington's two terms as first president. He decides to walk to the inauguration of John Adams. And we get to share in his thoughts as he leaves office. And then as he walks into the inauguration site the crowd begins to clap and his entrance is to a room full of people clapping to show their appreciation of a great man.
I will write more as I read more......
