Informații despre cartea electronică

Annie's home and heart are divided by the Civil War.

Annie Sinclair's Virginia home is in the battle path of the Civil War. Her brothers, Laurence and Jamie, fight to defend the South, while Annie and her mother tend to wounded soldiers. When she develops a romantic connection with a Union Army lieutenant, Annie's view of the war broadens. Then an accusation calls her loyalty into question. A nation and a heart divided force Annie to choose her own course.

    Great book !! I'd absolutely recommend it, especially for the nuanced (and therefore probably more accurate) picture of the Civil War drawn by the author. She details several hypocrisies of the Union regarding the horror of slavery, and points to the loyalty of young Confederate fighters (and civilians) to their home state as a key reason for their commitment.
    All in all, a book that is both informative (History isn't as black-and-white as it seems, and the Civil War still has repercussions in today's society) and compelling (a lot of endearing characters, a sweet and difficult love story...) !

    Full review can be found on my blog: decemberjoy.wordpress.comAnnie, Between the States is about a young Virginian girl whose world is interrupted and turned upside down by the war raging between the states. All the normality of her life vanishes when fighting soldiers invade her family’s home. Due to the brutality of the injuries, she finds herself aiding the wounded. At first she is appalled at what she sees, but as she tends to the injured she begins to see the human faces of those she opposed before. As the war drags on, and as Annie becomes more involved she begins to question Virginia’s reasoning. This is made more confusing by her older brother, Lawrence, who is fighting valiantly on the Confederate side. And her younger brother, Jamie, not knowing the true face of war, wants to be part of it as a Confederate soldier. Annie finds she is conflicted; she is seeing things differently than before, and while this conflict rages within her, it is through certain events that she finally discovers who she is and what she believes in.I was drawn into the story quickly; the first paragraph being Annie’s first encounter with an injured, bleeding soldier. Reading about her awkwardness to this new experience captured my imagination and as I continued to read, I felt a part of Annie’s world. The storyline was constantly changing as Annie moved around Virginia; from her home to her Aunt’s to a friend’s, etc. Each new place brought new characters and incidents pertaining to the war.I was also surprised to see that there was a softer since to this story. Since the book is about a young teenage girl, there were a few tangents that involve men and the romantic side of knowing them. I think there were about two or three suitors that vied for Annie’s affection. These were very PG, of course, since the storyline is in the early 1860’s. Just enough romance to balance the war aspect and to keep the teenage reader’s hormones appeased!
  • 5/5
    Best book about Civil War history! It's one that makes you understand the point of view of the south whereas I feel like most of the books I have read about the Civil War focus on the north and how basd the south is. A really entertaining, though-provoking, and just all around great story.
  • 5/5
    I have read this book three or four times and I can't seem to put it down!!! I'm extremely interested in history, and I like how this book mentions famous battles and historical figures of the time period. I'm currently reading Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, The Scarlett Letter, and I wouldn't have known about the book if it hadn't been for this book! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history and would like an intriguing and thrilling read.
  • 4/5
    When I first read this book, I expected it to be just another forbidden love story centered around a whiny and over-dramatic female protagonist. Far from my expectations, Annie Sinclair is a strong woman whose relationship with Thomas Walker is intriguing and anything but bogged down and sappy. Every character is developed fully, and the book has no true center point, encompassing all aspects of the war and the Sinclairs' involvement in it. Overall, a well-rounded and exciting novel.
  • 4/5
    This book is one of the best Civil War novels I have ever read. A strong and powerful story, it is the perfect blend of history and fiction. I love the main character of Annie Sinclair, and seeing her grow up through-out the story. Great character development, romance, Civil War detail, and emotion.L.M. Elliot writes with depth and passion. A great book.
