I have really mixed feelings about The Rainborowes It is interesting to see this family in the context of a very tumultuous time and on two different continents But I also felt like the book had a jumble of names and dates and events that was hard for me to keep track of It just seems like the Rainborowes had a lot going on and were really involved in important events and I wish I had taken notes so I could keep better track of everything I think me not keeping up with everything was pretty much my fault since I didn t pay as much attention as I could have I did find myself going back a few pages a few times because I felt like I missed something importantI think another reason why I have mixed feelings is that I wasn t expecting a book about the family and how they fit in to what was going on around them While it is the best way to talk about this very large family I think I was expecting about them I liked some of the details about life in New England especially some of the details about the churches they attended but there were times when the book got bogged down in the details I think the thing I liked the most about The Rainborowes is that I was reminded of how there are people and families throughout history that played a really important part in things and yet they don t get the recognition they deserve The Rainborowes also felt a little over the place and just when I got used to reading about one side of the Atlantic the book would switch locations and we d be on the other side of the Atlantic It did seem pretty linear but there was something non linear about it at the same timeFinal Thoughts I m not sure what else to say about The Rainborowes It is an interesting look at a family I had never heard of before and how instrumental they were on both sides of the Atlantic but the book got weighed down in the details at times and I had trouble keeping track of the many people in the book While interesting I don t think it s the book for me The Rainborowes gets 2 stars

I was lucky enough to win this book in the Goodreads giveawayFascinating book about a fascinating family that was involved in both the settling of the US and major event in England and the United Kingdom They held major political and military roles and then just disappear from historyI never heard of the Rainborrowes though I had heard of Gov Winthrop of MA and many of the other names mentioned in the colonies The writing became a bit dry and a little confusing at times because of the complex familial connections but the overall story kept my interest I learned many things about the colonies and English history I never knew
