Rating: Summary: A nice read Review: This is the frist book written by Mary Higgins Clark. This book focuses on the love story of George and Martha Washington. The book takes palce in two timelines. It begins with President Washington preparing to leave public office and return to Mount Vernon with his wife Martha, who liked to be called Patsy. And quickly jumps back to periods of Geroge Washinton's youth. Trying to give us some insight on the man and his relation ship with Martha.A lot of research went into this book. And I learned a lot about one of the founding fathers of the USA. The book is a charming and quick read. You almost are left with the thought of yearning for a few more chapters. It made me want to look further into George Washington's life and career.
Rating: Summary: Another View of George Washington... Review: This was a very interesting book. It took me a long while to get into the story, but it was a very worthwhile read. I liked how the chapters were cut so short. This book follows George's love life. Although he didn't marry the woman he truly loved, he was very satisfied with his wife Patsy,AKA Martha. They had no children of their own, but George was loved and respected by Patsy's two children, Jacky and little Patsy. Mount Vernon Love Story had a few flaws. As mentioned before, it took me a while to get used to the writing style,and I got confused between the different time periods. But after all is said and done, I'd give this book no less than 4 stars:)
