En savoir plus sur le livre
The first work of fiction by a U.S. President, this sweeping novel vividly depicts the Revolutionary War in the Deep South, reshaping our understanding of the conflict. It highlights the region's significant role in the fight for independence, marked by intense battles and brutal neighborly strife, with both sides seeking support from Native Americans. The narrative follows a diverse cast, including characters inspired by the author's ancestors. Central to the story is Ethan Pratt, who relocates with his wife, Epsey, from Philadelphia to North Carolina, and then to Georgia in 1771, alongside Quakers. In Georgia, they forge a bond with neighbors Kindred Morris and his wife, Mavis. Through Kindred and his young Indian friend Newota, Ethan gains insight into the frontier and the pressures faced by Native tribes. As the eight-year conflict escalates, Ethan and Kindred confront life-and-death struggles against opposing forces. With a compelling love story, dynamic action, and the suspense of an intensifying war, this novel stands as a remarkable piece of historical fiction, reminiscent of classics like "The Last of the Mohicans."
