5.0 out of 5 stars
Historical fiction at its finest,
This review is from: Honor & Glory (Civil War Trilogy) (Paperback)
Kim Murphy's second U.S. Civil War novel, HONOR & GLORY, takes a roller coaster ride of a journey through smuggling, war prisons, battle wounds, sickness, childbirth, and other tests of endurance--while at the same time depicting the joys and hopes of both Northerners and Southerners who lived and loved during the turbulent time period. The novel opens after the bloody Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862 and focuses on two Virginian sisters, Amanda and Alice, the former of whom has experienced both widowhood and a new marriage since the war's start. Alice, the younger sister, finds difficulty in accepting her new brother-in-law's background and position in the war--and falls for a former love interest of Amanda's. Despite the familial tension, the two women's relationship grows stronger as they themselves gain strength, shedding Victorian morals and delicacies to do their part in helping ailing soldiers...and to protect their own lives and properties as the war stretches to 1865. Each central character experiences dark depths of anguish at some point in the novel, yet Murphy also portrays supreme moments of joy that help them persevere and rise above their physical and/or emotional pain. Alice especially stands out as an exceptional character, transforming from a frivolous young lady to a multilayered, heroic woman. And the novel offers one of the most heart-stopping escape scenes ever written. Either read with its predecessor, PROMISE & HONOR, or standing alone, HONOR & GLORY is an entertaining and emotional example of historical fiction at its finest.

A momentous, sweeping, and emotional novel,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Honor & Glory (Civil War Trilogy) (Paperback)
The sequel to "Promise & Honor", and the second volume of a riveting trilogy, Honor & Glory continues author Kim Murphy's Civil War saga. Set in the aftermath of the battle of Fredericksburg, two armies wait for the spring campaign on the Rappahannock River banks. Two sisters are drawn into the war, their loyalties split - one betrothed to a Union major, while the other cannot forgive the Northern army that levelled her home. A momentous, sweeping, and emotional novel.

The Saga Continues,
By Raymond H. Mullen "Trust others, but pack yo... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Honor & Glory (Promise & Honor trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
As book 2 in the 'Promise and Honor' trilogy, Kim Murphy again laces the Civil war with all its' death and destruction with the power of human love and survival. The characters introduced in the first book continue on with the ever evolving strength (and weaknesses) as the war rages on and as each of them share their hopes, dreams, tragedies and triumphs.
More than a 'Civil War' story and more than a love story the author captures the inner soul of a cast of characters plunged into a terrible situation that is dealt with in a very human and individual manner. Don't miss this book. |
