Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. ![]() ![]() Finished Rebel by Bernard Cornwell which is set in the early days of the American Civil War. This book had quite a slow start and took a bit of getting into, but I enjoyed the book more as it went on. It culminates in the Battle at Manassas/Bull Run on 21st July 1861. I will be continuing with the series, especially as I own all four books in the series. I was very disappointed with this book and failed to read more than a quarter of it. I love the Sharpe novels, but 'Rebel' felt formulaic and predictable. Too many cliches. The instant problem with any Southern characters during the American Civil War is that to appeal to modern readers, all the good guys have to be anti-slavery. Hence, one is a Northerner trapped in the South, one is a rich man who decided to free all his slaves and one is a poor Southerner who clearly respects his negro neighbour. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When Richmond landowner Washington Faulconer snatches young Nate Starbuck from the grip of a Yankee-hating mob, Nate is both grateful and awed by his idealistic rescuer. To repay his generosity, he enlists in the Faulconer legion to fight against his home, the North, and against his abolitionist father. When the regiment joins up, ready to march into the ferocious battle at Buff Run, the men are prepared to start a war . . . but they aren't ready for how they-and the nation-will be forever changed by the oaths they have sworn for their beloved South.
