Marcie's Reviews > Those Who Love

This biographical novel by Irving Stone is brilliant. While written in 1965, it does not shirk from addressing the issues that the spouses of America's founders faced. John Adams is very much as I pictured him - a plain-looking, prickly and brilliant man who is frustrated that others do not always see his vision of America. One of my favorite quotes in the book if from his cousin, Samuel Adams, who says that "England is creating an entirely new species - The American."
