Description
Redemption Falls by Joseph O'Connor is an epic novel that weaves together multiple storylines set against the backdrop of the American Civil War's end. In 1865, Eliza Duane Mulvey embarks on a perilous journey across a devastated country in search of a young boy she has not seen in four years. As she walks, her path intersects with other survivors, each with their own secrets and struggles. A love-struck cartographer, a beautiful Latina poetess, a rebel guerrilla, a runaway slave, and a mercurial revolutionary are among those whose lives become entwined with Eliza's. The consequences of their individual stories will have far-reaching effects on the seemingly unconnected survivors. Through its complex characters and historical context, Redemption Falls is an unforgettable love story that explores themes of hatred, mercy, balladry, and the blues.
