Description

"A tribute to—and a send-up of—18th-century melodramas, Blindspot addresses 21st-century themes while mimicking the bygone era's literary techniques: first-person, epistolary narratives; adventure-studded storylines; and sensational plot twists, including mistaken meanings, hidden identities, and unexpected revelations. At the same time, [the authors] skillfully capture the contrasts of early American history, particularly the colonists' struggle to free themselves from British tyranny while blithely ignoring the growing African slave trade (Colonial America's 'blindspot'). Most critics were charmed by this witty, irreverent novel ... history buffs, fans of early fiction, and readers in search of a fun and clever book will thoroughly enjoy Blindspot."—Bookmarks Magazine
