All fighting. All awesome.
Thank you Carla--I love this book.
Another nail-bitter by Grisham! Oh how I can not put his books down until I'm done! Finished it up today, after putting other things aside-I guess that's what a good book does to you!
I found this book engaging and hard to drop. It amazed me how Eugenides was able to turn such controversial topics such as hermaphrodites and incest into a moving love story in conjunction with an immigrant tale. I loved it!
So many popular Civil War books describe the military aspects of the conflict in a very fine level of detail. This book offers a welcomed shift of focus to other ways that the conflict impacted the Commonwealth. From the influence of events outside of Virginia on the state's move to secession and the subsequent political machinations that brought the capitol to Richmond to the ways that the rural background of the typical solider factored into the South's military prowess (or lack thereof). The large diary excerpt provided at the end of the book provides an on the ground perspective of how the war impacted civilians. The essays are readily accessible for those of us who are not well versed in the details of the period. These perspectives offer a more complete picture of this critical year in the history of Virginia and how those events impacted the course of the Civil War. Even if you're not biased towards the perspective of the South.
