She read
This is a fascinating life story that needed to be told and is a good depiction of the feat of building the Brooklyn Bridge and the plight of women of that era.
I am always wary of historical fiction and concerned that people will take fiction as truth. Understandably, an author must embellish the thoughts, feelings, and personal interactions of a historical character, but, the author explains, she also altered varoius timelines and some of the events/relationships are fictitious. I have a hard time with this…..especially fabricating romantic relationships with real people or tragic events in the protagonist’s life. Do make sure you read the author’s notes to separate fact from fiction.
