Title: Engrossing, morbid novel about love and death
Review: This engrossing tale quickly draws you into the life of a small town after the Civil War. One quickly finds oneself feeling a strong kinship with the kind, gentle narrator who guides us through his town, his family and his life. The reader is left almost breathless as one tragedy after another befalls this good man and the town in which he lives. As his world crumbles around him, we watch as this man reexamines and is tested concerning his faith, his beliefs in mankind, and his sense of responsibility to his family and his neighbors. Before you know it, the book is over. This is a very fast read, and at the end you'll find yourself wishing that you had more time with the narrator, more time to figure out what he does next and how he continues on after the events that have befallen him. Great read!
