About this listen

It is 1865: the American Civil War is ending. Eliza Duane Mulvey sets out from Lafayette, Louisiana, the town her mother Mary Duane called home. Alone, she walks across a devastated country in search of a youngster she has not seen in four years. One of the hundred thousand children drawn into the war, his fate has been mysterious and will prove extraordinary.

It’s a walk that will have consequences for many seemingly unconnected survivors: a love-struck cartographer, a beautiful Latina poetess, rebel guerrilla Johnny Thunders, runaway slave Grace McNeile, and the mercurial revolutionary Giacomo O’Keefe, who commanded a brigade of Irish immigrants in the Union Army and is now governor of a Western wilderness where nothing is as it seems.

Exquisite writing and structure, albeit experimental and possibly not to everyone's taste. I loved it.

Outstanding Work of Literature

About three quarters of Star of the Sea was wonderful and one quarter hard going. Redemption Falls was ten percent wonderful and ninety percent hard going. Joseph O'Connor is very talented but the numerous points of view, criss crossing through time, and heavily accented/dialect passages left me drowning. The end "jumped the shark" and I felt "what was that all about".

Lordy. Long sorry haul
