Awesome book! Set in colonial New England, the "war" is for independence...but not what you'd think. In these times, if a woman lost her husband, she also lost control of her own life. Meet Lyddie Berry, a strong, stoic and very unusual woman for her times. She's not happy living with her overbearing, stingy and generally mean son-in-law and daughter. But bucking "the system" is not without its harsh penalties. The author did a wonderful job researching and fleshing out her characters. I was totally hooked!
