Description
The Traitor's Wife A Novel by Allison Pataki is a historical novel about Peggy Shippen Arnold, whose cunning and loyalty led to America's most infamous act of treason. Few know the integral third character in the plot: a young woman who not only contributed to the betrayal but orchestrated it. Peggy Shippen seduces Benedict Arnold during his stint as military commander of Philadelphia, blinding him to her secret loyalty to the British. As she watches her husband grow disillusioned with the American cause, Peggy hatches a plan with her former love and disaffected husband to deliver West Point to the British in exchange for fame and fortune. Told from the perspective of Peggy's maid, whose faith inspires her to intervene in her mistress's affairs, this novel brings these infamous figures to life, illuminating the sordid details and the love triangle that nearly destroyed the American fight for freedom.
