Oh. My. This book was so enthralling! I didn't want to put it down! I had to know what happened next! I love historical fiction and it was so interesting to learn more about someone real-- Benedict Arnold and his wife Peggy...who seems like she was the one who really was in charge of the treachery. It was interesting to watch the characters unfold and see the different personalities in the book. The book is seen through the eyes of Peggy's ladies maid Clara and even though she is a fictional character I enjoyed her character and seeing her grow throughout the book. I also enjoyed the juxtaposition of the two female characters Peggy and Clara. I was really struck reading this book with being "without guile" and being someone of integrity. It was interesting to see someone who isn't that way and someone who is. Anyway, loved this book so much! If you like historical fiction...read it!
