Book Review of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All

Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All
jeehae avatar reviewed "The story of the south in all its tragic and self-perceived glory" on + 4 more book reviews


We are able to see the south through a vast array of voices. This is a book-lover's read and one that we will eagerly read again and again. This novel spans the time from just before the Civil War until the mid-1980's. It is exuberant, raucous, comic and even, at times, bawdy.
