My knowledge of American history is limited and not particularly nuanced, but I do find it difficult to view that era with any sympathy for the slave owners and anti-abolishonists, and I was concerned that the contentious issues would be glossed over or romanticised. At first I thought it was going to be harder to warm to the Military heroes given what they were fighting for. This book is set during the American Civil War, from the Confederate perspective which was something I struggled with a bit at the beginning. I wasn't really sure what to expect of this audiobook as I have listened to very few stories from this period of American history. A sweet, Southern, love story amidst a Civil War
