Book summaryBased on stories in the author's family, this novel is about a wounded Civil War soldier who walks away from the hospital and finds his arduous way home to his sweetheart--a cultured young woman who has been forced to learn the brutal ways of farm life. The stories of the two lovers are intertwined; when they converge, they find that their worlds have changed radically, and so have they. Winner of the 1997 National Book Award for fiction. Media reviews"...Charles Frazier has taken on a daunting task--and has done extraordinarily well by it. In prose filled with grace notes and trenchant asides, he has reset much of the "Odyssey" in 19th-century America, near the end of the Civil War....[A] memorable book." |
