Wedded to War swept me away into a powerful, deep and heartfelt drama. My heart ached for the cast of conflicted characters. This story is brilliantly woven from the fabric of history with characters that pulled at my heart as they endured unimaginable aspects of war. It moved me and marked my heart. This story is meant to be experienced and shared with others. With so much to discuss from cover to cover, it’s a top choice for book clubs!

Hi Nora, Thanks for your review. This sounds like a good book, especially for those who like history.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation, Nora. I read Jocelyn's Widow of Gettysburg, and it was amazing. I'll have to check this one out, too.

ReplyDeleteThis book sounds wonderful. I'm always looking for good books about the Civil War time period. Thank you for telling me about this one. I hadn't heard of it before. I'm going to request it from my library since I don't live close enough to request it from yours. :) I love reading your reviews to find more books I want to read.

ReplyDeleteGreat review, Nora. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteI really want to get this series! I just read my first book by Green, The Mark of the King and it was AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI love to read historical novels and stories built around them, I have never read anything by this writer but if I get the chance I would, thanks Nora for letting me know about this book.
ReplyDeleteThis book drew me into it and has stayed in my heart. It introduced me to the rest of the series which is so very good that i will read them over and over and have shared them with a book club. I have found another new author who writes books that tug at your heart.
ReplyDeleteThe Civil War amazes me. How people lived and how the worked differently back then always makes me thinks. As the Great niece of a WWII POW I think that there should be more books like this out there. Thanks for the great review. I can not wait to read it.
ReplyDelete*Always makes me think*
DeleteLooks like a read I must pursue and share with my book club, too! Thanks for this timely review!
