( ) This sequel was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. I laughed...I cried...I cried much more than I laughed, but I'm ok with that. One should probably cry more than laugh when reading a book that takes place during the American Civil War. All of the beloved characters from North and South are back, and a few are added to the cast. My personal favorites being Mrs. Augusta "Gus" Barclay and Jane. I love that Jakes can write such strong female characters who can maintain their femininity. The reason I'm giving this book 4 stars as opposed to 5 is that it does kind of lag in the middle. Other than that, it lived up to the first book and I'm looking forward to the concluding novel, Heaven and Hell. no reviews | add a review
