Strong Passions, Barbara Weisberg

 

Strong Passions:  A scandalous divorce in old New York by Barbara Weisberg

Started: 4/7/2024
Completed: 4/11/2024
Recommendation: Recommended
Recommended By: The New York Times

Review:

Weisberg does a good job of relating the story without diving into it (until the end notes).  This is a bit of weird thing to track down.  It was scandalous in its time, but was no where near scandalous in today's world (it might even be considered ho-hum).  I was interested in the context, but attempting to link a rich family divorce with the Civil War felt over done.
