Description
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain is a masterpiece that is at once an enthralling adventure, a stirring love story, and a luminous evocation of a vanished American in all its savagery, solitude, and splendor. Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the fighting at Petersburg, Inman, a Confederate soldier, decides to walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge Mountains and to Ada, the woman he loved there years before. His trek across the disintegrating South brings him into intimate and sometimes lethal converse with slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both helpful and malign. At the same time, Ada is trying to revive her father's derelict farm and learn to survive in a world where the old certainties have been swept away. As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts itself as an authentic American Odyssey--hugely powerful, majestically lovely, and keenly moving.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Charles Frazier delivers a soulful reading of his novel....His writing reveals the fluidity of a storyteller, and the audiobook becomes a natural extension of his skill." (AudioFile)
"Charles Frazier has taken on a daunting task, and has done extraordinarily well by it....A Whitmanesque foray into America; into its hugeness, its freshness, its scope and its soul. Such a memorable book." (The New York Times Book Review)
"A rare and extraordinary book....Heart-stopping....Spellbinding." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Novelists are never in short supply. Natural-born storytellers come along only rarely. Charles Frazier joins the ranks of that elite cadre on the first page of his astonishing debut." (Newsweek)

A great book with a consistently taut through-line
An intimate and authentic tale of life during the Civil War era, beautifully written and performed. Never wanted it to end.

The Human Impact of the Civil War
I enjoyed this book very much. As a Canadian I only have a cursory understanding of the civil war. Cold Mountain is more about the impact of the war on a handful of people struggling to survive. There's a significant amount of cruelty & suffering but that’s balanced by love, compassion & honour. The characters thoughts & interactions are developed very deeply. Also the author’s descriptions of the landscape & objects in it are very inspiring. I will definitely seek out other books by Charles Frazier.

So descriptive, so beautiful, a joy to listen to.
I first read Cold Mountain back some 20 years ago and it’s been that long since I cracked the book, but when I decided to listen on Audible, I could barely stop listening, until the bittersweet end.

no
the narration was so awful I barely forced my way through this book.
it droned on and on I couldn't even recap what the story was about if someone asked me. background noise only. if I try again I'd rather read the paperback but that's a long shot that I would spend the money. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing did. dreary novel. dreary narration.
