Client Evaluations

I 1st read this book in College 20+ years ago and have re-read it several times since. Before the world-wide-web created it easier to acquire copies of the book, everytime I came across a copy in a put to use bookstore I would acquire it and give it to a buddy considering that I did not want the book to languish on a bookshelf unappreciated. It is a fantastic novel the follows a complicated southern family members throughout the complete Civil War. Be confident to also read the continuation (sequel) to the novel - "Unconquered," which follows some of the loved ones by way of the reconstruction period.

House Divided by Ben Ames Williams is an wonderful fictional account of the lives of ordinary men and women experiencing the ravages of the Civil War in America. This rivals Gone With the Wind in its scope and character development. Of special interest is references to actual locations in Richmond, Petersburg and Williamsburg, Virginia. I did not understand there had been an edition printed in the 1980's. I have read the 1930's edition twice and would like to have a copy of my own. I'd also enjoy to see this story on the significant screen!
