Story4 out of 5 stars 29
Anya Seton's best-selling 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.

Many misrepresentations of facts. Description & characteristics of South Carolina slaves on par with 1940’s Jim Crow attitudes, when the book was written. I was interested in learning about the life of Theodosia, daughter of Aaron Burr, after seeing “Hamilton” - but had to keep googling the events to learn the true story.
