About this listen

 Shenandoah is the eighth book in a series of historical novels spanning the Civil War and describing its effects on one Southern family.

The last half of 1863 has taken a toll on the Brannon family, but a Christmas lull in the fighting brings home Mac and Will as well as Titus, the son believed to have been killed in the war. Though his return is joyous news, Titus is devastated when he finds his wife remarried and pregnant. In his bitterness, he unleashes a personal war on the new family.

Will returns to duty and is swept into the fighting in the wilderness. For a time, Mac is with him, but a Federal raid near Richmond propels the Confederate cavalry toward the crossroads at Yellow Tavern, and towards destiny. Of the two brothers left at the Brannon farm, now behind enemy lines, one seeks vengeance on the Yankees fighting in the Shenandoah Valley.

I'm on the second to last of the series, and they are just brilliant, especially if the Civil War is your thing.
A special word for the narrator, who does a perfect job with all the accents and voices he's got to do. when it's a woman speaking, you really don't notice.
But for all us Civil War nuts who hanker after knowing what must have been like to ride with Forrest, this is as close as you're going to get.

Yet another 5 star review!
