I read this book years ago, and probably several times since. I wanted it among my collection of keepers, and now, I have it again. Thank you.

This was my third reading of this book. It is one of the best books I have ever read. I have purchased it several times to give to friends. I absolutely LOVE this book. I am sad that the author passed away and can not give us more of her wonderful writings. It gave a view of war during World War II of the channel islands.

3 great novels all in one book. I especially liked The Cradle Will Fall, very suspenseful to the end. I love having the 3 mysteries all in one book.


Mount Vernon Love Story : A Novel of George and Martha Washington
Review Date: 8/14/2014


I really enjoyed this book a lot. I was used to Mary Higgins Clark's mysteries; I had not read other types of writing she had done. This was a love story. It did not take me very long at all. It was especially enjoyable since I had recently viewed the movie John Adams.

Book was very, very boring except for the parts about Laura growing up. I felt like I was reading a term paper. The parts about her daughter, I thought would never end. I probably should not have stayed with it for the whole book. K Loving
