Synopsis

A Romeo & Juliet tale for Hamilton! fans.Love, Theodosia is a smart, funny, swoony take on a fiercely intelligent woman (Aaron Burr's daughter, Theodosia) with feminist ideas and ideals far ahead of her time. Not only a work of well-researched historical fiction, but a refreshing spin on the Hamiltonian era and the characters we have grown to know and love so well. Goldstein shines a bright light on Theodosia, who has long deserved center stage, a young woman struggling to be heard in a turbulent time for our nation. It's also a heartbreaking romance of two star-crossed lovers, an achingly bittersweet “what if.”In Love Theodosia, Alexander Hamilton's son Philip and Burr's daughter Theodosia become smitten, though she is engaged to an artist and Philip is a rakish cad. But the two find each other's intellect irresistible, and in what unrolls like a Jane Austen novel of manners we find ourselves entangled with the Hamilton family once again as the children of famous enemies are driven together despite every reason not to be.

Everyone knows the story about Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton by now, made popular in recent years by the hit musical Hamilton.

Goodreads review by Joan on November 09, 2021

Heavier on romance rather than historical accuracy, Love, Theodosia is a portrayal of Theodosia Burr, daughter of the notorious Aaron Burr and a supposed romance with the rogue Philip Hamilton, son of Burr's enemy Alexander Hamilton. Set in New York City amidst the backdrop of the contentious 1800 P......more
