I learned about the American Revolution in school, but it was all about armies and battles. A book like this, one that focuses on the people, would have been very welcome. :D

For those interested in the American history, this will be a good start for them. Thanks for the review
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

The author must be highly commended for his ability to switch between two key characters and still sustain the story line. A great feat for the lovers of fiction. Thanks for the informative review

Are Hannah and Jacob related? If not the two individual story lines you mentioned sounds like it could be confusing but you indicated it was well done. I appreciate that you didn't give too much away in your review, just enough to pique my interest. I will have to add this to my growing list (I'm new so this is fun)

The prowess of the author to manage the key characters and at the same time maintaining the flow of the story is worth commending. Thanks for your honest review.

Already makes me long for the details of what happened between Jacob and Hannah and the changes they wrought. Looking forward to the read.
Thank you for the review.
