review 1: Wow. I really learned a lot reading this. I didn't know much about Benedict Arnold before and I really liked the way the story was told from the view-point of his wife's maid (even if it made it less factual). I am curious if his wife, Peggy Shippen-Arnold was really as nasty and selfish as the novel portrayed her (I assume so), but she was obviously very cunning and manipulative. A very interesting and enjoyable read.
review 2: Once I realized that this is historical fiction light, I settled in to enjoy the story of how Benedict Arnold came to commit treason against the revolutionary troops and George Washington. Arnold nearly succeeded in turning over the fort at West Point to the British. I lived on the Hudson River for many years, a beautiful spot, and ... moreI enjoyed reliving my visits to West Point and the other historical sites which played important roles in the Reolutionary War. less
