Bride of Liberty is a 1954 historical novel by the American writer Frank Yerby.[1] Along with Benton's Row it was received by critics as "third-rate pulp fiction", as part of a general downturn in the reputation of Yerby's novels.[2] It also did not feature on the Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels which Yerby's works had regularly appeared over the previous few years. It was originally written by Yerby for his own children.[3]
Synopsis
