This thoughtful and thought-provoking memoir of family secrets and family lore, like Daniel Mendelsohn’s The Lost, will appeal to readers of family histories.Shorto, Russell
Thoughtful Americans, as well as history enthusiasts, should love this book. ["A sprawling, engaging social and political history, Shorto's spin on the American Revolution never bores and often pleases": LJ 10/15/17 review of the Norton hc.]
A sprawling, engaging social and political history, Shorto's spin on the American Revolution never bores and often pleases. Public libraries should see high circulation.
