White House Intrigue
If nothing else, Jennifer Chiaverini is prolific. Along with over twenty novels in her Elm Creek Quilts
series, all written in less than ten years, she has also produced numerous companion quilting books and has even designed
her own line of fabrics. Her readership has gone beyond the niche of quilters to capture the hearts and imaginations of many
other diverse readers around the world. And as if this isn't enough, she is now gracing the world of historical literature
with novels set during the Civil War era, writing about little-known characters who were, until this author started to highlight
them, mere footnotes on the pages of history.
Her latest, Mrs. Lincoln's Rival , is just as intriguing, if not more so, then her last offering, The Spymistress , which I reviewed here last year. Unlike its predecessors – the first in the "series"
was Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker, which I also reviewed – this third has more of a "novel" feel to it, although Chiaverini still drapes her
words and characters upon the skeleton of well-researched real-life historical events. But Mrs. Lincoln's Rival is not as cut and dry as the first two; although they were decently good reads. This novel revolves around the life and times
of Katie Chase Sprague who, as the title states, became Mrs. Lincoln's societal nemesis during her husband's presidency. With
its political and society intrigues, this narrative is, for sure, an eye-opener.
Tell you what – rather than
me rambling on about yet another good read from one of my most favorite authors, why don't you just traipse on over to www.authorexposure.com and read my review comments for yourself. It – the book – is one you don't want to miss.
