Description
In this wealthy and engrossing account, John and Abigail Adams come to life against the backdrop of the Republic’s tenuous early years.
Drawing on over 1,200 letters exchanged between the couple, Ellis tells a story both personal and panoramic. We be informed in regards to the a few years Abigail and John spent apart as John’s political career sent him first to Philadelphia, then to Paris and Amsterdam; their relationship with their children; and Abigail’s role as John’s closest and so much valued advisor. Exquisitely researched and fantastically written, First Family is both a revealing portrait of a wedding and a novel look at of The united states’s early years.
