    About this ebook

    Adams is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. The letters serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War home front.

      One of my teachers recommended this book to me, and because I enjoyed the musical 1776 so much, I figured I'd give it a shot. While I did enjoy the book, it was not exactly my cup of tea. Both referenced so many people that I had never heard of and knew nothing about so, and dealt a lot with politics and the various skirmishes around Braintree. I found myself skimming through and looking for the parts where they spoke to each other of their love and their lonliness. I'm a sucker for romance, and this stuff is prime: they spent so much time apart and yet seemed to care so much for each other. And the way that the last letter went: him saying he was coming home to her whether or not the Congress accepted his resignation...tres romantique, like the end of a novel. So it wasn't terrible, but perhaps something that I shall lay aside until I am older and can maybe get a better grip on.
