Book Review of Mount Vernon Love Story : A Novel of George and Martha Washington

Mount Vernon Love Story : A Novel of George and Martha Washington


This book, I am not sure if I can find the right words. It is beautiful, a beautiful telling of the love between George Washington and his beautiful wife Martha. It is a charming romp through his memories, his life from child hood and on through. We find him remembering these things from his minds eye as he is giving over the reigns of his government to John Adams. Its witty, and shows some funny jests about Thomas Jefferson (my all time favorite) and John Adams. This book was simply not long enough for me, I wanted more. I wanted to have more memories from Georges point of view. A wonderful book, that is making me wish to dig out my rev war books right now.
