Margaret A. Oppenheimer’s The Remarkable Rise of Eliza Jumel is a captivating biography of a woman who navigated wealth, society, and scandal in early America. Oppenheimer’s research is thorough, and her storytelling brings Eliza’s world vividly to life.
While occasionally dense with historical detail, the narrative remains engaging, providing insight into both Eliza’s life and the society she maneuvered. A compelling read for fans of biography and American history.
