maxwelldemay 's review for:
Varina
by Charles Frazier
2 / 4 : If you have time, read
[From an upscale sanitorium, belle of the ball Miss Varina Davis tells all about her marriage, children, and the war.]
After some preamble, Varina hits its stride in the scenes detailing the Davis family's hopeless trek through Frazier's doomed South, his Babylon of false prophets, hangers-on, kings, and whores.
Varina gives reason to doubt and question her protagonist as the story goes on but, it's like, c'mon. She's the wife of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, I don't need to be told she's one of the bad guys.
