A fascinating look into the history of the Brooklyn Bridge, the sacrifices, the mystique, the allure of the work these men did to accomplish such a marvel in the heart of the city of New York.
The Engineer's Wife builds upon this intrigue by looking into the lives of the men and women involved in such a monumentary task and added her own flavor to spice it up and make it fit the timeline.
The overall relationships among the characters was quite revealing and colorful but it was the behind the scenes action that truly captivated readers interests.
While PT Barnum was viewed as a main character the author notes he may not have played such a major role but was active during that time in history.
Women suffrage was a huge historical movement and the women in this story were tenacious yet captivating.
Emily our main character may have been blamed for building on the sand using wire that may not have been recommended but in the end it all worked out proving the bridge's strength.
This bickering, the damming allegations, the allure of the secretive relationships and business deals was truly a thrill.
A great new read has been born here with Tracey Enerson Wood's new novel.
Thank you to Tracey, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
