Shelves: first-reads

Saturated in rich, golden prose Taylor Polites’s novel, The Rebel Wife, oozes engrossing detail and with such a commanding voice/tone from the first page….I found it difficult to put down. The novel contains whispers of literary delight from beloved American classics such as Gone with the Wind and is told with a dark edge which echos William Faulkner.

Just as the blazing cover suggests, this novel radiates from within….a golden Southern Gothic novel sure to win the hearts and admiration of many r...more

Impressive command of the era's politics and history, without that getting in the way of the story, which was also excellently told. I kept turning the pages, thinking here the author will indulge himself in what for me is a breather, with pages of digression, those boring bits that I often skim through, but it never happened.

Gus Branson, the rebel wife of the title, must deal with her husband's horrible death - by poison? Disease? He was a "scalawag," a southerner who cooperated with the Union...more

A review quoted on the cover calls it a "fascinating, genre-subverting historical novel." I couldn't agree more--the book jacket might lead you to expect an apologist postbellum romance or some other garbage. This is not that. This is historical fiction--not romance--at its best.

The Rebel Wife is written in first person, and the tone evokes the personality of the heroine from the start. Gus is cold, detached, and calculating. She is not written to be sympathetic or anachronistically egalitarian or feminist. Nevertheless, as you experience her growth as a character your sympathy for her grows as well. One criticism, however, is that her character during the events of the book make me question what her personality was like while her husband was still alive. I very much had the sense that Gus has woken up with her husband's death--to take more interest in her affairs and the world around her (including especially the servants). Her ignorance about everything (from servant intrigues to her husband's role in the community to the political alliances in town) suggests that she was dead to the world during her ten years of marriage. But before her husband is cold, she suddenly transforms into her new cunning self?

The most interesting ongoing theme of the book is freedom and independence for former slaves and women. For the first half of the book Gus is essentially forced into passivity, waiting at home (as mourning rules dictate) for her cousin, the trustee of the estate, to come tell her what money may be left from her husband (whom everyone believed to be wealthy (view spoiler)). Gus's frustration (at her own ignorance about her husband's business affairs and her inability to judge whether the men around her are telling the truth or lying for their own gain) became my frustration. I wanted to scream at the paternalism and malignancy of the characters she had to contend with. A lot of historical fiction treats issues like this lightly--i.e. glossing over how land was entitled away from females or assets were held in trust and administered for them. This is the only novel I've read that made me feel how frustrating and terrifying it would be to have my finances taken out of my hands and even out of my ability to question, by someone supposed to have my best interests at heart.

The real triumph of this book for me is how it upset my expectations time and again. Reading the synopsis, I expected a Southern gothic romance where the old lover comes back to woo and support the beset widow. (And don't get me wrong, I was totally down for that cheap entertainment.) I was surprised by how, as an official review said, the book turned the tropes of the "chivalrous Southern gentleman, the good mammy, and the defenseless Southern belle" on their heads. I had read the review, so I expected that to be done. But I expected it to be done in a way that gratified modern readers and made for a more pleasing story--not for, as it turned out, a more challenging and honest story. I was also surprised as expectations I developed early in the book were also destroyed. (view spoiler) And when I flipped to the book jacket to read about the author, my mouth fell open in shock to see that this wonderful heroine had been written by a man (sexist of me, I know). What a thoroughly surprising treasure of a book. I look forward to more by this freshman author. (less)

When I first opened its crisp new pages, I was expecting to be whisked off to one of my favorite places: the Civil War-era South, with rows upon rows of cotton fields and Southern manners and a high society coping with their loss of money, relations, and culture.

Instead, I got the poor man’s version of Gone with the Wind. At 282 pages, it is pretty short, and while it has a lengthy bibliography at the end, it just seemed really… off. Some things were mentioned that didn’t seem to be historically accurate (not that I’m a big history buff, but were lawn mowers around back then?), and the way the protagonist treats her slaves/servants as though they’re almost equals is not typical of the time.

The book takes place a few years after the end of the Civil War. Augusta’s husband dies within the first few pages, and the remainder of the book chronicles her life as she deals with his demise. She doesn’t deal with it in an emotional way - their marriage was not one of love or mutual respect - but she deals with it financially, suddenly finding herself poor. She doesn’t tackle this problem like my favorite Southern heroine, Scarlett O’Hara, who grows food for herself and her family with her own hands, runs her own business, uses her charms to seduce wealthy men into marriage, etc. Augusta is the most spineless and uninspiring of characters who decides to go on a sort of treasure hunt with one of her servants for a bit of cash that her husband was rumored to have had in his possession before his untimely demise. Meanwhile, a horrible illness is sweeping the city and forcing people to flee before a government-ordered quarantine is put in place.

It was all a bit… awkward. The book felt like it was modeled after GWTW in that the protagonist finds herself poor after the war, she marries for money, the old gentry of the South don’t agree with her marriage and shun her, the marriage is loveless but produces a child, she’s still in love with a family friend from her childhood, etc. However, she is not Scarlett O’Hara by any measure. She mildly does what her husband asks of her, she knows that people are stealing from her and insulting her but does not bother to confront them 90% of the time, and she is addicted to a drug called “laundanum”. I know Scarlett had her battle with alcohol, but drugs?! Augusta is a flake.

I guess my main complaint was that I was going into this book thinking it would be a romance. Not the sort of “tender embrace” romances that are actually placed under the “Romance” sign at the bookstore, but at least something that would rouse some sort of emotion in me. With a title like The Rebel Wife, wouldn’t you expect the same? Instead, Polites seemed like she was legitimately trying to make an argument about society during this time period, and she wasn’t concerned with trying to disguise it with a respectable protagonist or plot. In between the many, many references to politics at the time, she makes the argument several times: women during this time period were like slaves. They don’t get the freedom to marry who they want, they don’t get the freedom to vote, they don’t get the freedom to choose to obey their husbands or not (especially when it comes to their bodies), they don’t have the freedom to conduct their own affairs or to manage their own money, and they don’t have the freedom to snub society and do whatever they want.

I get it. And I think it’s an important lesson we’ve learned. However, I would be lying if I said I preferred this social and political piece of work over the charms of Rhett Butler.(less)

This book is very interesting and unique.

It takes place in 1875 in the Deep South. The Civil War is over, but emotional upheaval continues boiling in the south over civil rights. I was reminded of The Help as I read how Gus related to the servants. She loves Emma, who raised her, but now she's feeling jealous of her son's love for Emma. But this book evokes more parallels with Gone with the Wind, which I haven't read, and the beautiful southern belle.

At its core this is a novel of freedom set in a time when freedom was questioned for so many across the south. Polites really hones in on the desperate tones of Augusta, her staff and those in town fearful of sickness. And in that desperation is an excitement that really keeps a reader enthralled and keeps the pages turning. Like Augusta, I (as a reader of her story) didn’t know who to trust and who to believe. The mystery really gives this novel some juice.

Nevertheless, I wound up quite disliking it; this seems like a novel that would appeal to a certain subset of historical fiction readers, but not to everyone.

In a small Alabama town in 1876, Augusta Branson’s husband dies a mysterious, bloody death in their bedroom. Augusta quickly realizes that everyone around her has their own agenda, that she doesn’t know who she can trust, that a large amount of her husband’s money has apparently gone missing and that she’s going to need that money.

While the novel starts off pretty well, it soon loses steam. Which, for me, it never really regained. The plot was much more straightforward than I expected (although, in all fairness, at 282 pages it’s a very short book). It’s also definitely horror-influenced; the first 100 pages or so is all about building atmosphere, with everybody hiding things for one reason or another (in some cases, for no reason I could deduce except that it added to the suspense). Full disclosure: I don’t like horror, and in picking out this book was more focused on its marketing as a sort of anti-Gone With the Wind than in the oft-used descriptor “gothic.” Well, it’s quite gothic (read: creepy), but it isn't really a 21st century “answer” to GWTW, except insofar as there are former slaves in the book who aren’t infantilized and a burgeoning KKK that isn’t praised. Which I would hope to be true of all modern fiction dealing with that era. The scope, style, subject matter, even the genre, are otherwise too different to allow for much comparison even if this book was that good, which it is not. (For all its racism, GWTW is an excellent novel in many, many ways--and I find it kind of amusing that even in lauding this book as different, the marketers want to grab onto its coattails.)

Although, to the book’s credit, it does handle the setting well. There is a good look at how society changed (and stayed the same) after the Civil War, and you get a sense of the culture beyond the demands of the plot. There’s a look at the politics of the time without getting too bogged down, and at how emancipation didn’t really mean freedom for a lot of people who stayed in the same place where they’d been slaves.

But then there are the characters. Augusta’s decently well-developed, and manages to be convincingly a 19th-century southern white woman while still being mostly sympathetic by modern standards. But the rest of the cast feels rather flat, probably because of the dialogue, which is.... flat. I could not hear the characters’ individual voices or speech patterns in their words--and this is a book with a lot of talking, where much of the character development depends on it. They did not come alive.

I debated between 2 and 3 stars (for the right reader, this may be a very good book), but am going down to 2 because I personally did not enjoy it.(less)

I very much enjoyed the writing style - the present tense, almost stream of consciousness feel, the extremely vivid descriptions. It really kept me in the moment. I also liked the Gone With the Wind era setting (though a decade or so later). It's not the South's finest moment, but a compelling stage for a drama. My main gripe was that this particular drama was so narrowly focused. The plot consisted only of finding one hidden object with a number of obstacles simmering in...more

This is a stunning debut novel with a little of something for everyone--and I mean that in a good way.

And then there was that dichotomy of freed slaves and white southern women each of which wanted to be free and independent and yet were still stuck in subservient positions.

War's end does not mean peace. It is an ugly, uncertain and uncertainly hopeful time. It is also a time of confusion, lawlessness and bitterness--especially on the losing side.

Taylor Polites writes an anti-Gone with the Wind. There is romance and nostalgia certainly. But he reminds us constantly of the fear that remains when war ends. The re-negotiating of relationships between oppressed and oppressor. The denial of defeat. Plots for retribution. Opportunism. Never mind the position of women in...more
