"The first part of the story, where Nora Bonesteel talks about caring for the grave, touched my heart so deeply...and remains with me still. These are great stories about the Appalachian."
"My lovely long suffering spouse, a fan of McCrumb, recommended this one to me. I found it an interesting and educational historical novel. McCrumb weaves an engaging tale of Appalachia blending the perspective of contemporary fictional characters with those of historical characters. The author shows the Civil War in a light I'd not seen before with the stories of Union supporting guerrillas, committed Confederates and their modern descendants dealing with the lingering traumas from the war. I'm often put off by the inclusion of supernatural elements into novels, but I like the way McCrumb brought folk magic and spirits into this book to link the present with cultural and personal wounds from the past. All of the characters felt real with natural voices and authentic motivations. I'll look for more books by Sharyn McCrumb and I'll look for one of the books she mentioned she found inspiration for her story from."
"This was a very good book which didn't quite live up to its early promise in the end. I liked the format of different chapters being told from the POV of different people, all involved with the same place but in different times.
The ending was a let down -- it didn't resolve anything, and was rather murky."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this fictional account of the Civil War in the NC mountains. All that talk of Morganton reminded me of friends....well written and fascinating tale of the division that is rarely discussed in secesh country."
