Not the sort of novel I would normally read, but this saga was a fictionalised account of a real family in Georgia who lived through the American civil war. This gave it interest which, together with the quality of the writing, made it a good read.

I count this book on my top 5 books of all time. It was a life changing experience for me. It exposed me to ideas I'd never really explored and changed the way I thought about the outside world. I'm so greatful to this book.
