This was too dry to be a good read. The title was fascinating to me, the contents were not. ( )

A small concise book describing the Puritan beliefs and society as it related to the family. It was very clear, enlightening, giving me a much clearer picture of everyday life in Puritan Society than I've gathered from any other source. ( )

Great introduction to the lives of 17th century Puritan communities in New England, including marriage, parent-child relations, education, and worshop. A little too thin, perhaps, in the area of economics and property ownership, and what influence that may have had on inter- and intra-family relationships. ( )
