A four-star review at amazon:
Good writing, interesting insights..., July 1, 2009
By A.S. Blosser (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Widow of the South (Hardcover)
A captivating book, made more so by the fact that the McGavocks were real people whose house was turned into a hospital, and whose land became a graveyard. Robert Hicks turns the true story into a fascinating character study of these people, and of the characters he creates to interact with them. I visited Gettysburg about a month ago, and both that and this book really brought home to me how tough the Civil War was on everyone involved. Definitely a well-written book, and one I recommend.
