The story of a wounded/deserted Confederate soldier from his escape from a hospital back to his beloved, which he will not see for 4 years. It was a perilous journey. Very sentimental and very coincidental. The author read his own book--and he was fairly bad! 14 hours 57 mins=366 pages.  Tess_W | Oct 21, 2021 |  Sholee | Sep 9, 2021 | Charles Frazier's writing style is poetic. I love his female characters, particularly his development of Ada from a sheltered young woman to one forced to struggle for survival. (  ) Riverdeboz | Jul 25, 2021 | I absolutely hated this book, couldn't even finish it, and that's rare for me. I've never understood what all the hype was about.

 Frazier has been widely and justly praised for his elegant prose and rich evocations of the natural world. For me, however, the deepest satisfactions of his novel derive from his deft treatment of certain perennially appealing pop archetypes.  Cold Mountain is sincerely plausible. It is a solemn fake. You will not hear this from the readers and judges who have helped make Charles Frazier's Civil War tale probably the most popular novel about that period since Gone With the Wind. (Since its publication in June, Cold Mountain has sold more than a million copies; in November, it won the National Book Award.) The book is so professionally archaeological, so competently dug, that one can mistake its surfaces for depth. But it's like a cemetery with no bodies in it. All the records of life are there, the facts and figures and pocket histories, pointing up out of the ground, but what's buried there was never alive. For a first novelist, in fact for any novelist, Charles Frazier has taken on a daunting task -- and has done extraordinarily well by it.

The impact of the Civil War on lovers. Inman is not the man he used to be, as wounded in battle he slowly makes his way home to North Carolina. His sweetheart, Ada, too has changed, no longer a flighty belle but a hard-working farm woman. Will love be the same? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
