About the author

Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton (October 30, 1857 – June 14, 1948) was a prominent and prolific American author. Many of her novels are set in her home state of California. Her bestseller Black Oxen (1923) was made into a silent movie of the same name. In addition to novels, she wrote short stories, essays, and articles for magazines and newspapers on such issues as feminism, politics, and war. She was strong-willed, independent-minded, and sometimes controversial.

She wrote using the pen names Asmodeus and Frank Lin, a play on her middle name.

Timely

Considering the resurgence of interest in Alexander Hamilton, for example the current Broadway play, I had a strong desire to learn more about him. I feel totally enlightened. If you love American history then it's a must read.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Antherton makes it clear that her original intention was to write a biography of Alexander Hamilton but decided on a historical novel instead, from the get go. That is exactly how it reads. At some points it reads like a rather dry biography at other times it's an exciting novel and other times it's just "what?". This book just cannot make up it's mind on what it wants to be.
If you want a biography there are much better ones about Hamilton out there.
If you want a novelization dramatizing his life there are better ones out there.
If you are a Hamilton buff, It may be worth the read.
