It is done from two points of view, Alex's and Eliza's (obviously), in the third person.
Melissa wrote this book because she was inspired by the musical and her daughter actually wanted to know more about Alex and Eliza, so she did a lot of research about Hamilton and then therefore wrote this book which from what I've read it is its own book and not apart of the musical. The book is about how Alex and Eliza actually met and the events up until they got married. I've seen a lot on Goodreads to say that this book is absolutely nothing like the play. I enjoyed it just the same and now I actually want to see it, to see what the difference is between this book and the play. But this doesn't matter when it comes to reading this book whatsoever. In the pages of Alex and Eliza, #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz brings to life the romance of the young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.Īlex and Eliza is Melissa's book on the famous musical Hamilton, now before I read this book, I knew absolutely nothing about Hamilton or it's history.
And when Alex and Eliza meet that fateful night, so begins an epic love story that would forever change the course of American history. Though Alex has arrived as the bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can’t believe his luck - as an orphan, and a bastard one at that - to be in such esteemed company. Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington’s right-hand man. Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country’s founding families, and even prouder still of their three daughters - Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit Peggy, with her dazzling looks, and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival those of both her sisters, though she’d rather be aiding the colonists’ cause than dressing up for some silly ball. The love story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler - based on the story that inspired the bestselling musical Hamilton.Īs battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society’s biggest events: the Schuylers’ grand ball.
