The captivating new novel from the acclaimed bestselling author of "Cold Mountain," this mesmerizing portrayal delves into the profound devastation wrought by the American Civil War, offering a unique perspective through the eyes of a woman who played a pivotal role at its heart.
In the aftermath of her father's financial collapse, Varina Howell, a young woman with her marriage prospects dashed, finds herself compelled to marry the much older widower Jefferson Davis. She envisions a secure future as a Mississippi landowner, but her hopes are dashed when he embarks on a political career and ascends to the presidency of the Confederacy.
Placed at the center of one of the darkest chapters in American history, Varina finds herself culpable regardless of her intentions. As the Confederacy prepares to surrender, she finds herself friendless and alone, forced to escape Richmond with her children. They become fugitives, pursued by a nation determined to bring them to justice.
Their journey south is fraught with peril, as they navigate a divided country with bounties on their heads. Along the way, Varina confronts the profound consequences of her choices and the enduring impact of the war on her family and the nation.
Through her captivating narrative, the author paints a vivid and poignant portrait of a woman's resilience and the complexities of loyalty and sacrifice in the face of monumental historical upheaval. "The Civil War Bride" is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring legacy of a nation divided.
