Helpful Score: 7


This is a great book if you are interested in Civil War history mingled with an unusual love story. Most of the book is based on fact so history buffs will love it. One reviewer wrote; "wonderfully imagined and beautifully written. RObert Hicks not only immerses us in history but also in age-old human truths that are the grist of lasting literature. One of the finest books I've read in years."-James Webb, author of "Born Fighting" and "Fields of Fire." This book wasa New York Times best seller and a nominee for the Michael shaara Award For Ecellence in Civil War Fiction.
