Tveksam till en börja, men något fick mig att fortsätta. Mycket bra beskrivning av svårigheterna i USA under 1800-talets krig.

Such beautiful prose served by a wonderful narrator. Unusual story that goes straight through your heart. I tried not to gobble it and let it wash through me but in 2 days it was over. Will look for more words from this writer & narrator.
