Sally, elegant, intelligent, proud, is shocked again and again by the slights and cruelties of her unnatural servitude-all the time loving, believing. Unfortunately, in spite of the inclusion of contemporary letters and published works by Jefferson and others, the central figures here are sketched in with blithe abandon, through the smoke of passion. Along the way, Sally's life with Jefferson at Monticello-plus a brief stay in France-is reconstructed in flashbacks. She is being interviewed by Nathan Langdon, a young census taker, who, fascinated by the legendary alliance, will approach John Quincy Adams, Aaron Burr, painter John Trumbull, and others to shed more light on the matter.
