A review by jdintr
Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier

Thirteen Moons is an epic love story set against the removal of the Cherokee from the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Frazier's prose is a fluid and beautiful as the mountain streams of Appalachia. It's a pleasure to read.



With that said, there were some major problems with this book. The book should have ended with Will's trip out to Oklahoma, but the reader gets bogged down in real estate transactions, an inexplicable removal to a mountain resort, and an ending as strong and memorable as a sigh. Still, the good parts of this book are great, great, great. Worth reading.
