Handsome Road Gwen Bristow 9780671784010 Books

Though not nearly as good as the first book, in this trilogy, Handsome Road, is still a good read. An interesting take on the civil war, and a good story. If you enjoy historical books, with a ongoing story line, this is a good trilogy to read.
More a story of the difference in class, at that time in history, than a true romance book, it's somewhat bitter tone, is interesting, and sheds some lights on the struggle of the poor white class of people of the era. Worth reading, but maybe not worth the price.

The continuation of Bristow's Plantation Trilogy is almost as good as the first. It's so interesting to follow the Upjohns and Sheramys and see how the family changes as the generations flow by. I always love anything set in the Civil War, and I liked how Corrie May was able to see some different truths that most people don't.
When I first read all three "Plantation" books by Gwen Bristow 20 years ago, I was so enthralled with them that I read them twice!! Well 20 years later and I just read all three of them again this past week. Great books that stand the test of time. Each book can be read alone but I recommend them as a series, loved them years ago and still love them!!
This book takes the story of the Larne, Sheramy and UpJohn families through the civil war and it's aftermath. The author provides a very realistic portrayal of the upper class Larnes and Sheramys and the poor UpJohns, the latter having to struggle for work as the upper class had the slave labor to do most of the work for "free". Also, the turnaround of the cultures in the aftermath of the civil war, the Larnes and Sheramys having to struggle to survive and keep their plantations while Corrie May was able to catch a coattail of a carpet bagger and his money.

I have to say that "A Reader" in September 2002 summed this book up better than I could. Well worth the time to find this out of print book, I was able to get a copy from my local library. Please note, that the comment by "A Reader" in 1999 who called it smutty must be thinking about another book. This was as chaste as a book could be, and would be a good choice for a younger reader.
Love the dust cover.
I read the Plantation Trilogy many years ago when it came out. It was thought provoking then and it is just as powerful now. I gave this copy to a friend.
Gwen Bristow is an amazing author. Her books may be a mite old fashioned, but she still packs an emotional, historical and cultural punch. Really a great read, as are her other novels. Don't miss out.
I just recently discovered this author and she is my new favorite. This book is the 2nd in a trilogy and covers the period of the American Civil War. Ms. Bristow is an excellent storyteller and makes the history come alive as well as supplying new detail. Wish there were more books like this!
