    <body><![CDATA[I am not one for reading stories about war, so I was skeptical when our book group selected this one that was presented as &quot;about the Civil War.&quot;  So I was presently surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.  I found it to be more a book about an individual and a family in the Civil War period.  I liked how the book illustrated the impact of the war on individual's and families in the south, and transported you to an era and place with a fresh perspective.  The book is filled with unusual characters that come together to form a family in different ways at different times in their lives in a way that I felt helped to balance the challenges of their circumstances.  I would recommend this book.]]></body>
