This was lighter historical fiction than I was expecting. The historical context is definitely there, but it takes a backseat to the romance and drama. The atmosphere, including descriptions of fashion and mannerisms, didn't feel truly authentic to 18th-century America. The secondary characters were also one-dimensional. Nevertheless, I enjoyed learning more about Peggy Shippen and her role in her husband's infamous treachery.
