Book Reviews of My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams
Book Review: A treasure trove of insight into the past
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection of letters between Abigail and John Adams are a treasure trove of information and insight into the begining of the United States. Mr. and Mrs. Adams were very talented writers which makes reading the letters a pleasure. The topics cover a myraid of topics from politics (and it is interesting to see the effect Mrs. Adams excerted on her husband's political bent), to the flirtations, to the day to day events Wedding Funerals, ect.. There is so much here on so many levels, but I think what it does best is give the reader a personal glimpse into the period and the relationship between a president and his wife. This will make a great Christamas gift for the American history buff. Highly recommended!
