Today Jim and I started reading together the book First Family: Abigail and John Adams by Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer-Prize winning historian. Wonderful writing and fascinating story of American history seen through the relationship of Abigail and John, what we'd call a power couple today.
The last book we read together was Julia Child's My Life in France, which revealed much about French cooking but also the fascinating love story of Julia and Paul Child. Now we've headed back in time to travel through the American Revolution with Abigail and John. They left behind about 1,200 letters that Ellis uses as primary sources to tell his story. A great read so far.
