Charles Frazier "Cold Mountain"
One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory.
Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain is a masterpiece that is at once an enthralling
adventure, a stirring love story, and a luminous evocation of a vanished
America in all its savagery, solitude and splendor.
Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the
fighting at Petersburg, Inman, a Confederate soldier, decides to walk back to
his home in the Blue Ridge Mountains and to Ada, the woman he loved there years
before. His trek across the disintegrating South brings him into intimate and
sometimes lethal converse with slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches,
both helpful and malign. At the same time, Ada is trying to revive her father’s
derelict farm and learn to survive in a world where the old certainties have
been swept away. As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts
itself as an authentic American Odyssey – hugely powerful, majestically
lovely and keenly moving.
