This is a charming story about a young woman who falls in love twice during the Revolutionary War. Language at the beginning is simplistic but once the reader gets into the swing of it, the novel flows well. And, the heroine seems to mature as the war goes on.
Bristow does an outstanding job of revealing what it must have been like for southerners to live through war and occupation. The tragedy, the fear and the loss of all one knows and loves is so dramatically pictured that the reader feels like he/she is on the streets of Charleston with the characters of the novel. How people react to occupation, patriots and invasion is fascinating and the historical details emphasize the reality of war. I rate this one at 3.5 stars.
