This is the final book in the Southern Civil War trilogy, which includes New Orleans and Memphis, by the award-winning author, Sara Orwig. It begins in the wake of Sherman's brutal rampage to the sea.
I agree with the above reviewer with the exception that I thought the book bogged down in places. Claire lamented her "fate" over and over (about losing michael to his father) in the beginning and it got pretty tedious. Also a bit unreal was fortune's friend alaric. (I'd love a sequel on him). He's our hero's best friend with a history of womanizing but from the first time he meets Claire he hits on her. At first it looks like he's teasing and trying to make fortune jealous which is fine. However as the story continues,he sounds pretty serious and that is a turnoff......Loved the hero, Fortune, although his name was never explained and I hated it (the name)......Guess these are small complaints considering the positive stuff about the book.......
