Title: Interesting but misleading
Product review: While the flow of the novel was good and the writing well done, I was disappointed to read her assassination of Thomas Jefferson's character by stating he was the father of Sally Hemming's child "Tom". This information was originally believed to be true based on early DNA testing but later the testing was found to be flawed and additional testing proved "Thomas Jefferson" was not the father, it was likely another member of the Jefferson family was the father of Sally Hemming's child. In that this information was available prior to the writing of this book is either a blatant disregard for the true or poor research. While Jefferson was not the father of Sally Hemming's child it was clear that Jefferson thought highly of Sally Hemming and any relationship they had would be based on mutual feelings and not on subordination. While this misinformation was dishearting it gives rise to the questioning of other representations in the book.
