I would to thank Net Galley and W.W. Norton for the opportunity to read this as an ARC. I am a fan of historical books and I was excited to read this one. It is a well researched and well written book about Angelica Schuyler Church. While many today may only think of her as Alexander Hamilton's sister in law ( I confess I did sing "Angelica, Eliza and Peggy to my self each I picked up the book), she was so much more. She was indeed a reader of Thomas Paine, she wanted more for women in the colonies and then states, she was charming , opinionated and well read. She was a force to be reckoned with throughout her life. She was also a wife, and a mother, a daughter and a sister, in times that could be called turbulent , at best. She traveled and lived in France and England.She knew many important and influential people, and was one herself. If you want to know more about this fascinating woman, I encourage you to read this book.

This is a story of Alexander Hamilton’s sister-in-law during the American Revolution times. It is a very interesting read with great history. This ARC was given to me in exchange for an honest review. This review is mine.

Deeply well written and absorbing bio of a woman I’ve been fascinated with since Hamilton the musical. I’m so glad the Schuyler sisters are getting more attention and having their stories told. This is obviously non fiction but engrossed me like an epic novel.
