Synopsis:

Historian Annette Gordon-Reed continues the meticulous and eye-opening investigation of the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings she began in her previous book (THOMAS JEFFERSON AND SALLY HEMINGS) by tracking the lives of the Hemings family in a variety of locations, both in the United States and Europe, and showing the fate of the Jefferson and Hemings children. In doing so, Gordon-Reed vividly demonstrates the incredibly complicated choices and diverse lives lived in the early days of the United States, and her careful explication of issues of race, sex, power, and family should be a revelation to most readers. THE HEMINGSES OF MONTICELLO was one of the most critically acclaimed books released in 2008, winning both a National Book Award for nonfiction and the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for history.
