History made personal,
By Susan (St. George, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BATHSHUA: "The Most Extrordinary Crime ever Perpetrated in New England..." (Paperback)
If you're a fan of meticulously researched historical novels and great storytelling, this book is for you. In Bathshua, Bojan Hamlin Jennings takes an actual historical event - the murder of a Massachusetts trader during Revolutionary War times and the trial of his wife for complicity in the crime - and fashions a compelling novel with fascinating characters. Two stories unfold side by side - the historical one of the founding of our country, and Bathshua's personal story. As the colonies struggle for independence, we see Bathshua more and more deeply imprisoned in an abusive marriage to a man who is not what he seems. Author Jennings skillfully creates an entirely plausible motive for the murder, and takes us through the trial, the first of its kind in the new American court system. I was up late finishing this one.
