4.0 out of 5 stars Romance during the revolution, March 18, 2010

This review is from: Toil of the Brave (Mass Market Paperback)

Set on the coast of North Carolina during the revolution, this book mixes real history with interesting characters to make the story come alive. Two men working for opposite sides, one for the British and one for the colonists, have a relationship with the same woman. Their relationship comes to a climax during the battle at King's mountain. Mrs. Fletcher knew the area and the history intimately and writes with skill that is not dated. Planters living near swamps using boats for transportation with descriptions of the plants and animals, open door hospitality, and later divisions within the characters as they are forced to decide whether to support the British or join the colonist when war reaches their homes. This is an excellent choice for those who like historical fiction.
