Customer Reviews

Set during War of 1812

I have enjoyed several of the author's novellas in different collections so I jumped at the opportunity to read one of her full-length novels. Set during War of 1812 in Virginia, the author addresses an often overlooked period of American history. I found the politics, society, plantation management, and treatment of slaves in 1814 Virginia quite fascinating. There are plenty of surprises along the way to make the plot interesting. Unfortunately I did not connect fully with the main characters Nell and Carter; the multitude of secondary characters confused me in regard to their roles in the plot and their relationships with one another. But those who enjoy historical fiction may really enjoy this family saga that intertwines four families with multiple secrets. I received a copy of the book from the publisher via JustRead Publicity Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
