Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post, May 28 1997 Here we are on honored ground. The story of two friends, one white and one black, going off together to face unknown dangers, has its roots in that most paradigmatic of American novels, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," and recurs in various forms in the work of William Faulkner. It encapsulates in miniature many of the greatest themes of American history and literature, from the burden of slavery and race to the longing for exploration and the new. It is momentous business, and Madison Jones rises to it. . . .Brief though it is, "Nashville 1864" is populated by a large cast of thoroughly believable characters, it moves forward with irresistible narrative force, and it is written in prose of the utmost elegance. It is, in all respects, a splendid piece of work., F/F Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
