Two strangers, young men from Pennsylvania and South Carolina, meet on the way to West Point.... Thus begins this brilliant novel of antebellum America, spanning three generations and chronicling the lives and loves of two great family dynasties. The Hazards and the Mains are brought together in bonds of friendship and affection that neither jealousy nor violence can shatter - until a storm of events sunders the nation and brings the cataclysm of war!

I’m a Brit with a real fascination of older American history - thanks in part to the chaos brought by Donald Trump’s presidency and also an obsession with the musical Hamilton. I think this first book in the trilogy was a daily deal and so well worth a punt. I’m so glad I did. I should say I really like getting stuck into a long audiobook. It’s been the most enjoyable listen over a period of a number of weeks and I have finished on Christmas Day where I’ve chosen to finish the book rather than listen to terrible Christmas music!!!! The story is great, narrator excellent, and I’ve also downloaded the second book in order to continue the story.

Very happy customer 👍🏼

A thoroughly enjoyable education

A thought provoking characterisation of two families fighting to keep their friendships alive while their country tears itself apart. Looking forward to the next 2 books.

I had my ‘self invented’ ideas about the American Civil War, but now discovered I knew nothing! This is a fascinating novel, giving views of the era from national, local, family and even individual perspectives. Notwithstanding the occasional melodrama (the train accident aftermath in particular), it provides an excellent historical representation folded into a compelling story. Don’t let the 30hrs put you off, it requires every minute of it and can’t wait for the 42 hr Love and War!! (Scottish reader)

Changed perspective!

I have now listened to all three parts of this monumental story set before, during and after the American Civil War. It reminds me of Tolstoy's War and Peace in the way it uses fictitious characters to bring the disruptive and destructive effects of war on peoples' lives. It's an engrossing story and I was captivated throughout the many hours of listening helped by the outstanding narration. What a task the recording must have been. My only minor criticism is the author's excessive and often lascivious references to women's breasts, which cheapened the otherwise superb trilogy.

Epic
