the widow of the south by robert hicks

one of those books that could benefit from being about 100 pages shorter. i won't spoil, but it ceased to be interesting about half-way through. it didn't help that the POV kept changing with every chapter. if it were just the 2 main characters, i wouldn't mind so much. but there were 6 or 8 (i lost track) & it really bugged me.

this was based on true events so if you want to know more about the battle of franklin, tennessee, carrie mcgavock or the mcgavock confederate cemetery at carnton go read a non-fiction book.
