My Dear Hamilton A Novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton edition by Stephanie Dray Laura Kamoie Literature Fiction eBooks

I’m not going to lie. I’m sort of a Hamilton fan. Having previously read Ron Chernow’s compelling biography, Alexander Hamilton, I already knew Hamilton’s wife, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, was an intriguing and resilient woman. Also, having read America’s First Daughter by historical fiction novelists Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie, I knew this dynamic writing duo wouldn’t do anything less than exceptional in telling Eliza’s story; therefore, I highly anticipated My Dear Hamilton. Dray and Kamoie far exceeded my expectations. I absolutely devoured My Dear Hamilton from beginning to end!

There’s no doubt that Eliza Schuyler Hamilton lived through an exciting time in American history. She was right in the center in witnessing the birth of a new nation. She’s mostly known as the wife of Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States; however, there’s so much more to this woman with a compelling life story. I very much appreciated that her life before marriage is portrayed in My Dear Hamilton. We get to know the endearing relationships she had with her family, especially her father and sisters Angelica and Peggy. It’s with these strong familial bonds that she would deeply rely on later in life.

At its heart, My Dear Hamilton is very much a love story filled with betrayal, sacrifice, loyalty and forgiveness. Yes, she was indeed a devoted wife and mother, but she was also characterized in this book as a woman possessing admirable inner strength. Through their intensive research, the authors expertly shape, not only Eliza’s journey through life, but her emotional well being as well. Readers will celebrate with Eliza through her happiest of times, feel utter heartbreak as she endures public humiliation, and be encouraged by her sheer determination and accomplishments.

Eliza outlived her husband by 50 years. In her 97 years, it’s fair to say that Eliza Hamilton had loved and lost so much. Her emotions are so thoughtfully detailed with the passing of the most important people in her life. I was very curious about her life after her husband’s infamous duel. There’s a scene towards the end of the book, and this is not a spoiler, where she literally lays everything out in front of her to try to make sense of what she’s learned. I found this moment to be poignant, sorrowful, and something totally relatable as humans. I’d like to think that scene was how it really played out years ago, but it was surely memorable the way the authors depicted how she may have dealt with that part of her life.

If Eliza Schuyler Hamilton were alive today, I think she would applaud how Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie interpreted her life though My Dear Hamilton. Another brilliant and fascinating read from these talented authors!

My Dear Hamilton A Novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton edition by Stephanie Dray Laura Kamoie Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I love history and I was so excited to read My Dear Hamilton. It was so much more than I expected. It was like taking a behind the scenes journey in the founding of our great nation through the eyes of Eliza Hamilton. What a journey it was! There is so much content in this book surrounding the Founding Fathers and what efforts and sacrifices they went through to establish our country. I learned so much!

The authors did a fantastic job of researching and creating a history of Eliza Hamilton based on facts and documents. Her story has so many facets to it. From her childhood and family devotion, to her early adulthood and meeting Alexander Hamilton, to her marriage to him and the life they had together. It was a marriage that was loving and supportive but there were also struggles and difficult times. Eliza was Alexander Hamilton's champion and believed in his love for the country and his desire to make it succeed. This story is a saga that I loved reading and made me appreciate even more what it took to begin our great nation.

I appreciate the in depth conversation at the end of the book about what the authors created the story on and their research into writing this novel.
When my daughter and I saw Hamilton in February, I turned to her after the final notes and said “wow, Eliza Hamilton was a remarkable woman! She needs her own story.” I was delighted to discover that Dray and Kamoie has taken that task on, and brilliantly so—I’m a political history nerd to the core, and I learned a lot from this book. It takes a gifted writer to keep you turning pages when you already know the ending, but this team managed it. Don’t miss this book!
After America's First Daughter, my expectations from this team were high -- but they were exceeded in every way as I read this truly impressive book.

It is an incredible, surprising, and altogether lovely tribute to the woman who stood beside one of the most unknowable, irascible, energetic, and passionate of the many people who contributed indelibly to the foundation of this nation. I am left both humbled at the accomplishments of the Hamiltons, and uplifted by the depiction of Eliza.

More than that, though, I am awed by the scope of the work that Dray and Kamoie undertook. Spanning the tumult of the Revolution, and reaching all the way up to the eve of the Civil War, through the decades where the nation itself was being invented out of whole cloth, My Dear Hamilton hints at the changes that rushed past Eliza, while maintaining its focus on her as the prime mover of her own story.

Watching her emotionally knocked to the ground, over and over, and yet each time finding her feet again and not merely persevering, but triumphing, we get a sense of the force of Eliza's personality, and just how equal a match she was to her husband, the force of nature we've come to know in the wake of the musical Hamilton.

In the end, My Dear Hamilton works not only as a marvelously rich work of historical literature, but as a deeply personal meditation on one woman's process of making her place in history, keenly aware that history has its eyes on her.
