When I first checked this book out from the library, I was doubtful of my interest in the novel, and I was preparing myself for a book I would evidently give up on. With the very popular musical Hamilton, my first thoughts of the book were that it was going to be a sort of fan fiction. Plus, I had never had the interest to fully listen to or see the musical.

When I first checked this book out from the library, I was doubtful of my interest in the novel, and I was preparing myself for a book I would evidently give up on. With the very popular musical Hamilton, my first thoughts of the book were that it was going to be a sort of fan fiction. Plus, I had never had the interest to fully listen to or see the musical. But on the contrary of my beliefs, this novel was one of my favorites this summer.



The main character, Peggy Schuyler, should be an inspiration to the young women of our modern day society. She is the perfect example of a woman who is proud of the country she lives in, and she yet pushes the boundaries of tradition and normalities of women's place in society. She exemplifies that women can be very vital in the complicated game of war and society. With the novel constantly going in detail of the revolution, the reader can put herself into the shoes of Peggy, and feel how she might of felt in her situation.



In regards of being a great example for women, the bond of the Schuyler sisters was one that should be a constant reminder to us all that sisterhood and friendship can truly help us live our daily lives. Whether it be in sad, happy, hard, or easy, we need people who can guide, listen and help us in life.



The only real let down of this books is the misleading nature of the title and summery. The Summery suggests that Peggy and Hamilton would have an unbreakable friendship, and that it would be a vital prospect to the war. Although they did from a very close friendship as siblings would, it was not as prominent as the summery preludes. Peggy is in constant doubt of Hamilton's intentions with Eliza, even after they were married. Plus it never spent a lot of time on the two bonding, much rather them bantering and flirting. No personal connection. In regards to the title, the focus point of the story was the three Graces or the Schuyler sisters, not Hamilton and Peggy.



Other then then the misleading title and summery this novel was fun read and I definitely recommend to every girl and boy who want to learn of history and a culture that should be striven for; one of equality and respect.
