The Widow's War by Sally Cabot Gunning

3.0

This was the selection for my book club this month, chosen in part to celebrate National Women's History Month. Well, let me tell you, this book certainly drives home the gratefulness and relief I feel to be born into a Century where women have rights. This story was extremely well-written, with several twists and a heroine who never lost her will and tenacity to hold onto what was rightfully hers. I liked the setting, but it never overwhelmed the story, as I feel often happens with books set in early New England. The story flowed well, and was easy to read in that sense, but content wise, at times it was difficult. I highly recommend this book, I think it will make everyone, especially American women, feel a little more grateful for their freedom.
