Ebook About A riveting historical novel about Peggy Shippen Arnold, the cunning wife of Benedict Arnold and mastermind behind America’s most infamous act of treason...Everyone knows Benedict Arnold—the Revolutionary War general who betrayed America and fled to the British—as history’s most notorious turncoat. Many know Arnold’s co-conspirator, Major John André, who was apprehended with Arnold’s documents in his boots and hanged at the orders of General George Washington. But few know of the integral third character in the plot: a charming young woman who not only contributed to the betrayal but orchestrated it. Socialite Peggy Shippen is half Benedict Arnold’s age when she seduces the war hero during his stint as military commander of Philadelphia. Blinded by his young bride’s beauty and wit, Arnold does not realize that she harbors a secret: loyalty to the British. Nor does he know that she hides a past romance with the handsome British spy John André. Peggy watches as her husband, crippled from battle wounds and in debt from years of service to the colonies, grows ever more disillusioned with his hero, Washington, and the American cause. Together with her former love and her disaffected husband, Peggy hatches the plot to deliver West Point to the British and, in exchange, win fame and fortune for herself and Arnold. Told from the perspective of Peggy’s maid, whose faith in the new nation inspires her to intervene in her mistress’s affairs even when it could cost her everything, The Traitor’s Wife brings these infamous figures to life, illuminating the sordid details and the love triangle that nearly destroyed the American fight for freedom.Book The Traitor's Wife: A Novel Review :
1371 I was so disappointed in this book which focuses on an important part of our American history and the role of Peggy Shippen, a woman whose life is little written about. I am an historian with a particular fondness for 18th and 19th century American history. I was only a few pages into the novel when I started finding startling historical inaccuracies in things such as description of Colonial architecture, food, even clothing. To wit: the author describes the Shippen home in Philadelphia c.1779 as having black shutters. Alas, black paint and thus black shutters were not available until later in the 19th century. By the 2nd chapter, I found I was making a written list of historical errors and anachronisms that eventually was quite long. I also found the name of the main character, Shippen's maid, to have been an unfortunate choice. Every time another character addressed her by her full name, "Clara Bell," I just cringed. Perhaps someone older than 60 should have also read the manuscript and realized that Clarabel was the name of Howdy Doody's clown friend. Add in the strange mix of faux historical syntax and expressions (i.e., aye, nay) which flip-flopped with modern language -- all very off-putting. As a long-time resident of the lower Hudson Valley, I am familiar with the locales in NY State where Andre's and Arnold's activities took place. I have dined many times at the "'76 House" where Andre was kept prisoner and stood on the spot where he was hanged. I think that this book could have benefited from the inclusion of some maps, especially that of the area around West Point to help readers locate where events took place, and also of Philadelphia. Wish more about his courage after his capture was explained at the end. I agree with the reviewer who said that this book borders on being a bodice-ripper. I find it hard to believe that Shippen was as shallow and flighty as portrayed and that Benedict Arnold -- who was one of our most talented Rev.War generals -- was a dumb as he was portrayed. Arnold was a brilliant and complex man whose tallents were overlooked by nearly everyone but Washington. Arnold's achievements were heroic and perhaps if the Continnental Congress had paid the monies he was owed, he might not have fallen prey to the British promises. Regardless, I admire Ms. Pataki's energy in trying to bring this important part of our history alive to readers. She definitely needs to hone her craft, do much more in-depth historical research to support her descriptions, and also to find some experienced, objective, and mature editors. Hopefully someday another more skilled will take up the subject of Peggy Shippen in the future.
