I am a little surprised by how much I loved this book. An excellent story, mostly true, about the "current war" and the beginnings of electricity in this country. Intrigue, science, romance, law, passion...there is so much included here that I had a hard time putting it down. I wondered throughout how much was true. The last chapter is the author explaining just that, chapter by chapter, including citing his sources, which was very much appreciated. All-around a great read.
