I found myself comparing the Peabodys (Unitarians in Massachusetts) to Lucrecia Mott (Quaker in Nantucket). There is mention of Mary (Peabody) Mann meeting Lucrecia Mott. The dynamics of the relationship of sisters is interesting and familiar. It is difficult to write a biography of three people at once, along with all of their intimate friends who became famous. Interesting and difficult times to live in, but exciting.
Cheerful period piece written by "Mrs. Tharp" in the '50's. Far less research than the Marshall bk, but lots more vinegar.
I have no idea where this book came from, but it appears to be a First Edition. It's not in very good shape though, and it's an author nobody ever heard of... I doubt I will ever read it. I wish we didn't have to choose among read, to-read, and currently-reading. Some books I just own and collect with no intention of reading!
It's a "clean" read in that it presents the sisters and their circle in a highly positive light. However it is an interesting read covering a unique perspective and period.
Finally finished. This is a very dry read, though it still manages to invoke an interesting time in history.

Written more like a dissertation than a novel; author repeats same or similar information too many times. Could have been half the number of pages!
