A fascinating biography of Thomas Jefferson that presents an entirely new and provocative look at the final years of his life, as seen through the eyes of his most trusted family confidants. A powerful profile based on fresh research and unpublished memoirs.
Review
I highly enjoyed this book.
The plot was what I most enjoyed, but the characters really carry the story. Historic figures are people we "know" about but this gives us a deeper look. Their lives and relationships keep you turning the pages.
A wonderful read.
