Detailed item info

Synopsis
In A SEPARATE COUNTY, Robert Hicks creates a rich historical novel about the tragic life of confederate general John Bell Hood. A brash and heroic military leader during The Civil War, Hood lost both an arm and a leg in the war, and was crushed by financial woes in its aftermath, before finally being killed by a virulent epidemic of yellow fever. Hick's novel opens with Hood on his deathbed, urging his wartime foe, Eli Griffin, to help him publish his "secret memoirs." Told alternately from the point of view of Griffin, Hood, and Hood's longtime wife Anna Marie, the novel paints a wonderfully vivid portrait of a valiant but proud man humbled by life. Fans of Hick's bestselling THE WIDOW OF THE SOUTH will rejoice at this tale of Southern gallantry and calamity.

Industry reviews
"Hicks spins a taut tale, told in many voices, of tangled webs, vengeance and other unfinished business. Expertly written, with plenty of unexpected twists--a pleasure for Civil War buffs, but also for fans of literary mysteries." (07/01/2009) "Hicks's stunning narrative volleys between Hood, Anna Marie and Eli, each offering variety and texture to a story saturated in Southern gallantry and rich American history." (starred review) (07/20/2009) "A marvelous accomplishment, as beautifully written and heart-wrenching as its predecessor....Hicks again draws upon real lives and the South's traumatic past to create a powerful epic about how love and unselfish choices lead to personal transformations." (08/01/2009) "[I]n his marvelous new book,...[Hicks] looks back on [John Bell Hood,] the legendary and monstrous general of the Civil War[,] with a brand new set of eyes." (10/13/2009)
