Charles Frazier has generated a masterpiece that reaches once an enthralling adventure, a stirring love story, and a luminous evocation of a vanished land, a location where savagery coexists with splendour and humans contend with the inhuman solitude of the wilderness. Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the fighting at Petersburg, Inman, a Confederate soldier, decides to walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge mountains and Ada, the woman he loved there years before. His trek over the disintegrating South brings him into intimate and sometimes lethal speak to slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both helpful and malign. At the same time, the intrepid Ada is trying to regenerate her father's derelict farm and understanding how to survive in a world where in fact the old certainties have been swept away.As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts itself as an authentic odyssey, hugely powerful, majestically lovely, and keenly moving.
