| 內容簡介： |
In this rich and engrossing account, John and Abigail Adams
come to life against the backdrop of the Republic’s tenuous early
years.
Drawing on over 1,200 letters exchanged between the couple, Ellis
tells a story both personal and panoramic. We learn about the many
years Abigail and John spent apart as John’s political career sent
him first to Philadelphia, then to Paris and Amsterdam; their
relationship with their children; and Abigail’s role as John’s
closest and most valued advisor. Exquisitely researched and
beautifully written, First Family is both a revealing portrait of a
marriage and a unique study of America’s early years.
