Louisa: The Extraordinary Life of Mrs. Adams by Louisa Thomas is first and foremost Louisa Adams' personal story. The writing style is part story with almost a diary-like feel with many personal details. At the same time, this book is all history chronicled with quotes, document excerpts, names, and dates. As a casual, non-academic reader, I find the level of detail a little overwhelming, but I learn a lot about that time in history.
