It got great reviews. They are all correct and then some. The three are Elizabeth, Mary and Sophia, of whom I only knew about because she married Nathaniel Hawthorne. Stephanie and I learned of her when we visited the famous house in which they honeymooned. The more I read the more angry I become that although Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, et al...are ensconced in the hall of American literary fame, the only one of these three I had heard of to now was Sophia...and then only in relationship to Hawthorne. Argh.
