Description
The Spymistress A Novel by Jennifer Chiaverini
A riveting tale of high-stakes espionage during the American Civil War, inspired by the true story of Elizabeth Van Lew. Born into a slave-holding family in Richmond, Virginia, Van Lew's convictions compelled her to defy the new Confederate regime and pledge her loyalty to the Lincoln White House.
With courage and cunning, Van Lew helped construct the Richmond Underground and orchestrated escapes from the infamous Libby Prison, all while maintaining her reputation and risking her life. Chiaverini brings this remarkable heroine to life in a story that will thrill fans of historical fiction and American history.
