Dear Mr. Jefferson: A Novel (The Binnford Trilogy)

By Chidem Kurdas

The year is 1816. A young Englishman prepares to immigrate to the United States. A relative doubts the wisdom of the move. She writes to Thomas Jefferson and asks: Will it make him happy? The retired president is drawn into a correspondence that tracks the young man's adventures in America. There is a foreign agent, political intrigue, a fraught election, romance and a rich cast of historical figures on both sides of the Atlantic. As they observe the trajectory of people's lives and that of the young country, Jefferson and his pen pal argue about the pursuit of happiness. This is the second of the Binnford Trilogy novels based on American history. The first is "Adams: Letters to Hamilton."AUTHOR: Chidem Kurdas worked as journalist and taught economics to college students.
