This pretty much sums up how I feel about the book. I really enjoyed the beginning and if the book focused on the characters and their lives before and after war without getting too deep into battle descriptions, I think I could really enjoy it. I tend to like the fiction in historical fiction more than the history. Great review.Libs_Books wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 14:49 This sounds like a really interesting book. It's a pity that the author is sometimes too keen to share the results of all that research with the reader, but even great historical novels sometimes make that mistake early in their writing careers. Although I'm interested in the Civil War, I have a low tolerance for detailed descriptions of battles, so I think I'll pass on this one - but thanks for the review.
