Varina
by Charles Frazier
I've been wanting to read this book for sometime. It is the story of Varina Davis, wife of traitor Jefferson Davis. It his historical fiction, and at this point, I don't know enough about her to discern the truth from the fiction. It has a frame story of a man named James visiting Varina shortly before her death. She slowly reveals her life history, a lot of which goes back to her fleeing at the end of the Civil War. She comes across as far more liberal than I expected. I've already lined up a true biography to see how this novel lines up. It is beautifully written.
