Hanging Mary

[Gene C]

I was a little reluctant to get this book, thinking it might be more of a girlie gothic romance novel.
It's not. I enjoyed the book, and knowing the historical setting helped me enjoy the book more.

Written in first person form, Mary Surratt and boarder Nora Fitzpatrick tell the story of their experiences of the last few months of Mary's life, Booth's visits, the trial of the conspirators, and Mary's death.

As historical fiction, this book is more historical than fiction. Author and forum member Susan Higginbotham gives us a glimpse into the lives or these two ladies (especially regarding Nora) by adding a more personal touch to this tragic story that we are all somewhat familiar with.

Unfortunately, Nora's life does not turn our happily ever after. In her later years Nora is plagued by physical and mental health problems
