Book of Ages by Jill Lepore
NATIONAL BOK AWARD FINALIST
ONE OF THE BEST BOKS OF THE YEARNPR - Time Magazine - The Washington Post - Entertainment Weekly - The Boston Globe
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOK From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians--a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin's youngest sister, Jane, whose obscurity and poverty were matched only by her brother's fame and wealth but who, like him, was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. Making use of an astonishing cache of little-studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one extraordinary woman but an entire world.
Jill Lepore is a staff writer at the New Yorker and the David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University. The House of Bliss, The Whites of Their Eyes (Princeton), and Book of Ages: The Life and Views of Jane Franklin are only a few of her works.
