More About This Book

Overview

Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemming met as lovers in Paris, when she was fourteen and he thirty-five. They returned to Virginia and Sally never again left Monticello until after Jefferson's death. Thomas and Sally loved each other as man and wife throughout their life together although they passed through many tribulations. Often other women tried to woo him and Sally threatened to break from Jefferson's love upon numerous occasions. Imagine the anguish, the love, the passions that played out in their private quarters, deeply hidden from the world in that seraglio of one. The only way Jefferson could have both Sally's love and his public life was to prevent the tiniest inkling of his forbidden liaison to come out...even though their relationship was an open secret within the family and in the neighborhood. Sally had iron in her soul and that was one of the characteristics which kept Jefferson forever with her or forever pining for her when they were apart. Theirs was an amazing and sometimes painful story, which is told here in Sally's point of view.

Editorial Reviews

Conny Bryceland
SALLY is an enjoyable read. I wish that, as Sally was portrayed to be intelligent and ahead of her time, she would not have fallen so hard for such a man as the author has made Thomas Jefferson out to be. But the ending, while leaving things somewhat ambiguous, leads the reader to draw the likely conclusion of what happened upon the return to Monticello. 3 Stars

    Excellent book with rich historical background

    Written in a very enjoyable and easy-to-read style, Peggy Fielding did a commendable job of giving a historical account (some parts fictionalized) of Thomas Jefferson and his lover Sally. The book is cleverly told from Sally's point of view. Fielding has an ideal blend of dialog and description. The characterization of both Sally and Jefferson is well worth the read.
