This makes for a first-rate read for fans of historical fiction, but the sheer volume of events and personalities included in the story may overwhelm some readers. Elliott does a remarkable job of blending two compelling storylines: the American Revolution interwoven with romance and family drama. The title is somewhat misleading, as the main focus of the book is on the lives of the three Schuyler sisters and their family's personal relationships with many of the most famous figures of the American Revolution (George and Martha Washington, the Marquis de Lafayette, and even Benedict Arnold).

Elliott's Hamilton and Peggy: A Revolutionary Friendship draws on extensive research, personal journals, and letters to create a fictional tale of the friendship between Alexander Hamilton and Peggy Schuyler, sister of Hamilton's future wife.
