Did I mention there are a lot of subplots. At first with all the characters and story lines it's hard not to get lost in confusion, but each story line is compelling . The vivid accounts of battle and surgery drives this novel forward and foreshadows the death and destruction that would be brought on the characters in the novels final chapters.
I thought the novel was well researched and Wicker managed to mix fact with fiction effectively. The only real drawback for me was the way Wicker used truncated and misspelled dialogue to show the poor southerns and slaves appear ignorant and uneducated. Even their internal thoughts were written in this “southern' dialect. Since most of the characters are southerns it almost drives you to the point of distraction. Otherwise, Wicker's writing is clear and concise, making the individual stories follow smoothly into one narrative. ( )
