This is my first Owen Parry book. A delightful read and a very passionate writer.
There are several excerpts within the book that relate directly to actual historical events during the Civil War, however the author has taken some literary liberties in adjusting the timeline to accommodate his story.
I love the way that Owen Parry writes in the Welsh dialect to make the experience more authentic and memorable.
I thought the mystery had ended on or about Chapter 13, but it does continue and has a more surprising ending.
I am now getting ready to read "Shadows Of Glory", Owen Perry's second book.
After that, its on to read his Christmas Book "Our Simple Gifts: Civil War Christmas Tales". I really like this author's style.
