A review by angelarwatts
Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt

5.0

This is the only book I have read that captures the reality of the Civil War in a gripping, astounding story. This story does not choose a political side and push propaganda, like so many other stories and history textbooks do. Across Five Aprils shows the truth: that there was much more to the American Civil War than just slavery.
From a historical, realistic viewpoint, this book was spot on and never had info dumps. It flowed well and showed many events in a clear light. The setting was also vivid.
The characters were all very well done and memorable. Each character added something to the story.

I cannot serve this book justice by my review. I love it.
