The Hemingses of Monticello : An American Family
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
I just have to say I really, really want to buy this book. I've read about The Hemingses of Monticello in Newsweek and in the New York Times and I just got finished watching the author Annette Gordon-Reid speak about it at the Library of Congress. What's holding me back? At 800 pages I don't have time to devote to reading such a lengthy non-fiction tome. But, as a American history junkie I really want to sink my teeth into this book. What a dilemma! Knowing me I will buy it anyway and try to read it on and off for the next three months.
Anybody reading it or finished it yet? Worth buying?
