Dray and Kamoie’s portrait of this extraordinary woman is filled with historical details, drama, suspense and passion ... This is the perfect example of an epic fictionalized biography.
Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie weave such an enchanting spell with their take on the life of Eliza Hamilton ... beautifully etched ... Dray and Kamoie are as at home describing a ball as they are the effects of yellow fever upon the wretched; their dazzling talents glimmer throughout the novel.
Episodic rather than plot-driven, the novel suffers from Dray and Kamoie's seeming inability to choose what to summarize and what to depict as scenes in the book ... Still, the novel is unflinching in detailing Eliza’s reactions.
