I’m glad I clicked on this book to read your review (via your contest) because I just assumed that this was nonfiction. I must say I’m much more interested it this book now that I know it’s an alternate history instead! Thanks for the good review!

this sounds interesting. I don’t remember seeing it at The Literate Housewife, though; how odd. I think I’ll keep my eyes open for this one at the library. (although, as we’re in Canada, I don’t know that any of the libraries around here would have it.)

I’m not usually a fan of alternate history novels but this time period - and these two people - are fascinating to me.

I didn’t dislike the beginning, it was just a little lighter than my taste, but it got stronger. I do think, though, that it was Robin’s way of trying to draw people into where Eleanor was in her life, both politically and emotionally. I’m not sure I would have noticed it as much if I hadn’t read “Franklin and Lucy” in the last month and gotten all of that background.

I just got an email back from the person who won the contest. She had the same experience you did with the first part of the book. That’s pretty interesting. I am wondering if I didn’t feel the same way (although I can see exactly what you are saying) because of some of the Michigan connections? I’m going to have to give that some thought.
