Hailed a masterpiece by critics and made in a major motion picture, Cold Mountain takes place during the Civil War when a confederate soldier, wounded and disallusioned decides to walk home to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the woman he loved before the war. This book interweaves the stories of both Charles and Ada (his love) to show the aftermath of the war and a country forever changed. A true tale of survival.
