review 1: This is the story of a Confederate prison in Americus, Georgia, where many of the prisoners would not have died had there been enough food, water, bandages, painkillers, and beds for them. Violet, the daughter of the local doctor, tried to help the injured men, but many townspeople felt that was wrong. Yet it was her kindness that made the difference for many prisoners . The townspeople had once been cruelly tricked into giving money to build a hospital in Augusta for Confederate soldiers, and instead those who raised the money kept it. Moreover, they thought the Yankees were pillagers, murderers, defilers of Southern women and deserved to die. Although Violet‘s fiancé had been killed early in the war when a caisson had blown up, she felt compassion on the injure... mored Yankees. It is a war story about the Civil war that had Americans fighting and killing other Americans. If you like war stories and the consequences of war, this is a book you will love.
review 2: This review has NOTHING to do with the quality of writing, the tone, style, or anything about the book except the the subject matter. The fact of Andersonville, to me, requires more than a protected Southern belle finding out, by accident, what was happening practically in her own back yard. This is not saying it is a bad book, nor am I saying it is not a great way for those who have not yet learned of it to come to their own understanding of what happened. However, as I am growing older, I find I want more non-fiction in my fiction. What I did read was ok, but as I said, simpering Southern belles leave me cold. I'm sure, given the subject matter, she did not stay that way, but my patience ran out before that occurred. less
