“Lizzie Borden took an axe/and gave her mother forty whacks/ When she saw what she had done/she gave her father forty-one.”
I grew up with this eerie song, and I've always been intrigued by Lizzie Borden, but I'm amazed at how much I didn't know.
This was a quick read (less than an hour) that will fill you with all the Borden knowledge you need to know. Her trial is quickly outlined followed with a detailed timeline of the day of the murders. Of course I'm left still believing she is guilty, but oh, the possibilities!
Fall River, MA will definitely be my next trip. I can't wait to visit the Borden B&B and Maplecroft.
Great book and very informative. Docked a point due to incorrect comma placement and punctuation. Could definitely use another edit.
