My BFF recommended The Jackal’s Mistress to me, and boy! am I glad she did.
Jackal was the name Southerns gave Yankee soldiers during the American Civil War, and the story revolves around a wounded Yankee soldier, left to die by his unit, and the Southern woman who reluctantly rescues him. That’s all I’m going to tell you, other than the fact that I devoured all 300-some pages in one sitting.
The author is Chris Bohjalian, and your local library should have a copy.
