All Other Nights by Dara Horn

4.0

I very much enjoyed this Civil War novel. All Other Nights centers around Jacob Rappaport, a Union Jew who enlists in the army to escape an arranged marriage. He's given orders to murder his uncle and then to marry a Confederate spymistress. The detail Horn pours into her historical fiction is incredible, rendering a believable setting that is fraught with danger. It was a perfect balance between intrigue, suspense, and romance wrapped up in a literary style. Horn closely examines the themes of bondage, loyalty, and justice through the lens of the Jewish experience in the 1800s. I would give this 4.5 stars and heartily recommend it to fans of historical fiction.
