All Other Nights by Dara Horn

3.0

Phenomenal at portraying Jewish history on both sides of the civil war, knocking off stars bc of how weirdly sympathetic it was towards the confederacy at points?? Eugenia is a great character and a strong female role model if you manage to overlook the fact that she’s a racist and confederate????? Which i’m sorry but i can’t overlook? Like blah blah blah nuance i get it i read the authors note but. I dont want to be sympathetic to the confederacy, even in the confines of fiction. But it keeps 3 stars because of how little accurate and good Jewish rep there is, and that this is a narrative not often given the limelight.
