Book description
Anya Seton's bestselling first novel, originally published in 1941, captures all the drama of the short life of Theodosia Burr (1783-1813). Her father, Aaron-Thomas Jefferson's vice president, most famous for his great duel with Alexander Hamilton-holds sway over young Theodosia's heart. But his arrogance forces her to choose between the man he insists she marry and her love for a young soldier who will turn out to play a decisive role in her father's fate. Persuaded by Aaron that through his treasonable plans she will soon be crowned princess of the Kingdom of Mexico, she is received like royalty on Blennerhassett Island, only to end up trying to exonerate her father as he awaits trial in a Richmond jail, repudiated by his fickle son-in-law and friends.Theodosia remains a haunting figure in American history, still lovely, still imperious, never vanquished.

Audiobooks have made my long commutes enjoyable, and I'm always eager to see what's next. Audiobook joy made simple β this app's ease of use is commendable. Automated metadata extraction is a time-saver. My library is so organized now. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
