See my review of North and South. (

This sequel was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. I laughed...I cried...I cried much more than I laughed, but I'm ok with that. One should probably cry more than laugh when reading a book that takes place during the American Civil War. All of the beloved characters from North and South are back, and a few are added to the cast. My personal favorites being Mrs. Augusta "Gus" Barclay and Jane. I love that Jakes can write such strong female characters who can maintain their femininity. The reason I'm giving this book 4 stars as opposed to 5 is that it does kind of lag in the middle. Other than that, it lived up to the first book and I'm looking forward to the concluding novel, Heaven and Hell. (

Among the best historical novels I have read; I appreciate the insights and inclusion of lesser known tidbits in the big picture. It's an immersion experience. (

A little history mixed with a lot of drama in this Civil War epic. (

Colonel Billy Main's letter home (p 463): we might as well be camped at the rim of the cosmos, so dismal and remote do these huts seem as Christmas nears. Look about and the eye falls upon an unbroken landscape of confusion and cupidity. My men have not been paid for six months. ...Where in God's name is there one iota of concern for this disgraced army? Where is one man whose whole energy is given over to the task of finding generals who can lead us from the swamp of failure in which blunder after blunder has mired us, seemingly for eternity?
