Quatrième de couverture :
Revue de presse :
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Tennessee, 1864.
On a late autumn day, near a little town called Franklin,10,000 men will soon lie dead or dying in a battle that will change lives for ever; none more so than Carrie McGavock's who finds her home taken over by the Confederate army and turned into a field hospital. Taking charge, she finds the courage to face up to the horrors around her and, in doing so, finds a cause.
Out on the battlefield, a tired young Southern soldier drops his guns and charges forward into Yankee territory, holding only the flag of his company's colours. He survives and is brought to the hospital. Carrie recognizes something in him - a willingness to die - and decides that day, in her house, she will not let him.
In the pain-filled days and weeks that follow, both find a form of mutual healing that neither thinks possible.
In this extraordinary début novel based on a true story, Robert Hicks has written an epic novel of love and heroism set against the madness of the American Civil War.

"'It is a wonderful novel about what war does to its participants - not only the soldiers, but the families pulled from the periphery onto the battlefield. Hicks has perfected the art of mixing fact and fiction, and turned the book into a sustained, profound meditation on what it means to live, to love and to die. Congratulations to Robert Hicks - he has written a moving and magnificent novel'" (Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with a Pearl Earring)

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Based on a true story, this debut Civil War novel follows a Southern plantation woman's journey of transforming her home into a hospital for the war. This debut novel is based on the true story of Carrie McGavock. During the Civil War's Battle of Franklin, a five-hour bloodbath with 9,200 casualties, McGavock's home was turned into a field hospital where four generals died. For 40 years she tended the private cemetery on her property where more than 1,000 were laid to rest. Reminiscent of "Cold Mountain" and "Enemy Women," Robert Hicks' gripping debut novel, based on the incredible true story of Carrie McGavock—a woman whose life was forever changed by the Civil War—is exquisitely packaged with endpapers and compelling interior photographs. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780446578820
