My Theodosia

by Anya Seton

My Theodosia Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Anya Setons bestselling first novel, originally published in 1941, captures all the drama of the short life of Theodosia Burr (1783–1813).

            Theodosias father is Aaron Burr--Thomas Jeffersons vice president, most famous for his great duel with Alexander Hamilton. With charm and tenderness, he holds sway over young Theodosias heart, but his arrogance forces her to choose between the man he insists she marry and her love for a young soldier who will turn out to play a decisive role in her fathers fate. Persuaded by Aaron that she will soon be crowned princess of the Kingdom of Mexico as a result of his treasonable plans, she is received like royalty on Blennerhassett Island, only to end up trying to exonerate him as he awaits trial in a Richmond jail, repudiated by his fickle son-in-law and friends.

            Theodosia remains a haunting figure in American history, still lovely, still imperious, never vanquished.
