It follows the story of Eliza Duane Mooney as she wanders across America searching for her younger her brother, who has entered the Civil War as a drummer boy. The novel is “a Dickensian tale of war and forgiveness, of strangers in a strange land, of love put to the ultimate test” (“Redemption Falls”), and was praised in The Guardian as “a major work of modern fiction from an astonishingly accomplished writer” (Eagleton).
