Perfect for you if...

You love sprawling historical epics that weave personal drama through real historical events without shortchanging either.

You want to continue a series that respects both the romance and the brutal realities of 1860s America.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer tight, fast-paced narratives. This is 1000+ pages of interconnected plotlines that demand patience.
You need your Civil War fiction to centre enslaved characters' perspectives and liberation struggles as primary concerns.
You're looking for a standalone. This is book two of three, and the family dynamics have been established in part one.

About this book

Love and War is the second book in John Jakes's North and South trilogy. The Main and Hazard families, separated by the Civil War, clash both on and off the battlefield as they confront the violent realities of a divided nation. With Confederate and Union armies engaged in fierce combat, the families' once-strong bond is tested repeatedly. Members from opposite sides of the conflict experience heartache and triumph on the frontlines while fighting for the nation's future and their loved ones. Jakes draws on extensive research and historical documentation to tell this story. The ebook edition includes an illustrated biography of John Jakes with rare images from his personal collection.
