This is a very different kind of book. It starts out during the Civil War and focuses on the lives of several people who all suffered the loss of brothers in the War. These characters become involved in the occult, some unwillingly, in spiritism, and seek to bring the war dead back to life. The dead instruct the living in the making of a machine built for that purpose. It also involves real people, e.g. Walt Whitman and Victoria Woodhull and creates a great deal of fiction in their lives. There is some sexual content but not in a porn sort of way. I liked it because it is original. It gets better as it goes along.
