review 1: I just don't know. . . Put in The Odyssey, Pilgrim's Progress, and any other similar epics, set it all in the eastern U.S. from Vermont to Gatlinburg in 1864. Mix it up with feuding families, villainous plantation owners, mistreated slaves, hillbillies . . . oh, and did I mention Quakers? There are also gypsies, and, wait for it .... an elephant. Very well written with a wonderful flowing language and lots of symbolism. The ending made me cry, but it was sometimes a hard journey to get there.
review 2: I chose this book because an independent bookstore recommended it as written by a local author and set locally. As others have said, it's as much fantasy as historical, along the lines of the Odyssey or, at times, Dante's Inferno. The story is gripping and w... moreell written, though I sometimes found myself putting it down as the brutality and extreme violence made me begin to feel sick. Not for the faint of heart. I'm not sure it accomplishes any great epic learning about humanity, just has you rooting for the main characters and not minding when the evil people are blown away. less
