About this book

Jefferson in Love: The Love Letters Between Thomas Jefferson and Maria Cosway by Kaminski, John P.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780945612568.

In 1784, the recently widowed Thomas Jefferson set sail for Paris. As the new nations minister to France he was expected to deal with the politicians in the court of King Louis XVI, but he was not prepared for the likes of Maria Cosway. Enchantingly beautiful, sophisticated, and witty, this Italian-born woman captured the handsome Virginians heart. Their romance--lasting more than three years--is recorded in these private billets-doux between the shy American minister and his precocious bonne femme. Presented here for the first time in an accessible and attractive edition are over forty letters that reveal the innermost Jefferson.
