The narrative is well sustained, and provides as background an entertaining account of the manners, the ways of living and traveling and entertaining followed during the early years of the nineteenth century.\" --\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnya Seton's best-selling first novel, originally published in 1941, captures all the drama of the short life of Theodosia Burr (1783-1813). Her father, Aaron--Thomas Jefferson's vice president, most famous for his great duel with Alexander Hamilton--holds sway over young Theodosia's heart. But his arrogance forces her to choose between the man he insists she marry and her love for a young soldier who will turn out to play a decisive role in her father's fate. Persuaded by Aaron that through his treasonable plans she will soon be crowned princess of the Kingdom of Mexico, she is received like royalty on Blennerhassett Island, only to end up trying to exonerate her father as he awaits trial in a Richmond jail, repudiated by his fickle son-in-law and friends.\u003cbr\u003eTheodosia remains a haunting figure in American history, still lovely, still imperious, never vanquished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANYA SETON (1904-1990) was the author of many best-selling historical novels, including \u003ci\u003eKatherine, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Winthrop Woman, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eAvalon, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDragonwyck, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eGreen Darkness, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDevil Water, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFoxfire.\u003c\/i\u003e She lived in Greenwich, Connecticut.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50507401265426,"sku":"9780544242098","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e1a8ab65-4dde-4b04-b541-9aebc56249ee.jpg?v=1730861279","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/my-theodosia-9780544242098","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
