Set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Revolution, and featuring a cast of iconic characters such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette, The Hamilton Affair tells the sweeping, tumultuous, true love story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler, from tremulous beginning to bittersweet ending - his at a dueling ground on the shores of the Hudson River, hers more than half a century later after a brave, successful life.
Hamilton was a bastard son, raised on the Caribbean island of St. Croix. He went to America to pursue his education. Along the way he became one of the American Revolution's most dashing - and unlikely - heroes. Adored by Washington, hated by Jefferson, Hamilton was a lightning rod: the most controversial leader of the American Revolution.
She was the well-to-do daughter of one of New York's most exalted families - feisty, adventurous, and loyal to a fault. When she met Alexander, she fell head over heels. She pursued him despite his illegitimacy, and loved him despite his infidelity. In 1816 (two centuries ago), she shamed Congress into supporting his seven orphaned children. Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton started New York's first orphanage. The only "founding mother" to truly embrace public service, she raised 160 children in addition to her own.
With its flawless writing, brilliantly drawn characters, and epic scope, The Hamilton Affair will take its place among the greatest novels of American history.

Historia
From the New York Times best-selling authors of America's First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton - a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. In this haunting, moving, and beautifully written book, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before - not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.

Historia
Eugenie Bearhani (1760-1835) was born in Calcutta, raised in Haiti, and brought as a servant - a free woman of color - to America by an English officer on the eve of the American Revolution. Yet none of that prepared Eugenie for her next employer: Colonel Aaron Burr, who some whispered had made a pact with the devil. The lines between master and servant soon tangle and blur, and first attraction becomes dangerous obsession. Many historians deny she even existed, but she and the children she bore to Burr were very real - so was her little-known marriage to America's first true villain.

Informs more than it entertains.
I bought this book because I wanted to know more of the story behind the musical, "Hamilton". Both come from the same source material. I found this version somewhat disjointed and difficult to follow as a narrative. Nevertheless, I did finish it. Although Eliza Hamilton outlived her husband by 50 years, her accomplishments on behalf of widows, slaves and orphans remains an afterthought to her husband's biography. She deserves to have her story told.

Good Story
I liked the story, but did not care for the narration. There was a lot of dialogue spoken by males in the story and the narrator’s attempt to make her voice sound different ruined it for me.

A beautiful story of very deep love between two truly remarkable people - our country is better because of both of them.
Though I have also ready Chernow’s Hamilton first, this book is another dimension - dedication, selfless duty and sacrifice - love, honor, tenderness, but also flaws, failures, forgiveness - and the unbroken bonds of forever love. While I was very, very sad at the loss of Hamilton who was truly a providential hero of American, I could not help crying in the last two chapters of this book - the sadness of the tremendous loss to our country, but that they should have both been blessed with a long old age together, and while I believe the word “Amazing” is used far too frequently and easily, I am speechless and amazed at Eliza Hamilton. She is the best of wives, and the best of women.

Kept my attention and I have a short span
Pretty decent book. Held my attention all the way through and I have a short window in which to win me over. Felt like she rushed through Hamilton's life up until the affair at which point she seemed to slow the pace down but once that was over she ran thru the rest of the story like a horse in the Kentucky Derby. Then again, the title of the book is The Hamilton AFFAIR so...
I definitely learned more about Hamilton and his family. However, the book made it seem like his wife was angry with him from the point of the affair onward, which is not the case. After his death, she worked tiredly to get his name cleared with regards to other false accusations. Although I'm sure she was hurt and embarrassed because if his affair, her actions tell me she forgave him. I think she truly loved Hamilton through the good and the bad.

After forever dwelling on the childhoods of protagonists the story later-on gets cut seemingly whenever things get interesting.
