Synopsis
Nearly a decade has passed since Charles Frazier's melancholic Civil War-novel debut won the National Book Award and became a runaway bestseller, but the time has not been wasted. In THIRTEEN MOONS, Frazier tells the intricately researched and richly imagined life story of Will Cooper, an orphan who grows up to be a merchant, soldier, lawyer, senator, and surrogate Cherokee during the Trail of Tears, leaving him, in the end, a heartsick and bitter old man.

Industry Reviews
"[Charles] Frazier works on an epic scale, but his genius is in the details--he has a scholar's command of the physical realities of early America and a novelist's gift for bringing them to life."
(08/21/2006)

"With pristine prose that's often wry, Frazier brings a rough-and-tumble pioneer past magnificently to life, indicts America with painful bluntness for the betrayal of its native people, and recounts a romance rife with sadness....a bountiful literary panorama." [Starred review.]

    Another hit by Charles Frasier. You are thrown willy nilly into another
    time and place. The reader is filled to the brim by the angst of the old
    man looking back on his life and recalling young love that too soon becomes
    middle aged distain. The younger reader can see adventure, the older reader
    can,in part, see ourselves. Buy this book. Then, donate it to your library.
