An old attic keeps its secrets for more than a century but when two women find a journal written by a slave, those secrets begin to unravel one by one. Follow Evangeline and Lily through the turbulent years before and during the Civil War as they fight wars of their own insearch of meaning and values in a time of change and destruction. Eve must watch helplessly as Lily rejects her first love to chase her mother’s dreams of education. Lily marries an older man who appears to be the epitome of Southern gentility. This man, however, has a dark side few can see and the relationship spirals into abuse and pernicious control. Evangeline and Earl try to protect Lily and her children as their lives intertwine in an ever-tightening circle until Lily’s father is shot by an angry mob while protecting Earl. Finally two children of love bring the family full circle, but the shackles of society and small men hold them still. The signing of a document at Appomattox in 1865 emancipated no one.

5,0 su 5 stelle A really good read

Spanning the era before, during & after civil war in USA between the Southern & Northern States, it covers life in Alabama with the relationship between slaves & masters & how this particular family did not treat their slaves badly. I really enjoyed this book, I couldn't put it down & would love a sequel following on the next generation.

Reading A Civil War was a serious departure from my usual reading. Since it was recommended by a friend, I felt I needed to read it. I put it off a little bit because I was sure it was going to be difficult to get through--assuming there would be no detectives, no murder, no cloak and dagger. Surprise! I started it and could hardly put it down. I loved the characters (and find that I am looking forward to Ms. Marsh's sequel), and it was entertaining and gripping enough to satisfy the hard-boiled P.I. in me. My initial question was, "Why the title--A Civil War?" since the story began in the present. I was hooked in just a few pages, and there was mystery enough for me to find out what the connection was between the main characters. The rest of the novel was the explanation--and the revelation. Being a southern woman, born in Florida and a resident all my life, I felt a certain relationship with the characters and grew very fond of all of them--except Charles Avery. I don't think being southern is any kind of prerequisite to loving this book. I won't reveal any of the details of the story. No spoilers, here. You can read the publisher's and author's descriptions of the novel, but, from me, you will have to settle for the recommendation that you read this wonderful book! Let me say one more thing. I do not like romance; I've never been into historical fiction. This book doesn't fall into the category of "romance," although there are some tender moments and the real love of families. I found myself totally immersed in the time period, so I guess I have to change my mind about historical fiction. Oh, and if you are already a fan of historical novels, this one is bound to keep you turning the pages!

It took a couple chapters for me to actually "get into" the story. The story starts and ends with two women who find out they are related. They aren't in the story except the beginning and the end. The book is Lily and Eve's story ... and all the people intertwined with and around them ... and is nicely written. I became so "involved" in their lives; I felt their tears of happiness, sadness and loss. One main thing that bothered me most was the use of "baby" when the characters spoke to one another. Being an avid historical romance novel reader, I'm used to the characters speaking in a certain way. "Baby" being used as frequently as it was, and in the way it was used, seemed out of context. Otherwise, I recommend the book for the story line. The story of Lily and the devotion of Eve to Lily was touching. It's worth the time invested to get to know Lily, Eve, Chance and their loved ones.

I was gripped by this story - definitely worth a read. Such a beautiful weave of emotions and humanity with strong characters and a forceful sense of the times. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I began to read it again once I'd reached the final pages.

This is the story about 2 women from different walks of life in the 21st century who inherit a house. The only thing they are told is that they are cousins and that the house holds the answers. Next chapter takes you back to the old South 1800s to the lives of a young plantation family. It’s like going back in time following their lives. The author described the people and life of the era exceptionally; the good and the bad, how the Civil War affected lives. I could not put the book down. The only thing that made no sense was the last chapter about a young woman who was like a shaman woman except maybe her story is in the next book. I highly recommend reading this book, all 600+ pages.
