The Jackal's Mistress

Once again, Chris Bohjalian has written a gripping and compassionate novel that will keep readers glued to their seats. Having read sixteen of this author's books, I think that this is one of his best.
Inspired by the story of real people in history the author beautifully paints with his words the scenery of life during the Civil War. A time when men and boys went off to war and women were left at home to keep their farms and businesses running. For the main character, Libby, it was a time when her neighbors became her enemy, and her enemy became her ally. This is a tense and suspenseful book with unforgettable characters. Historical fiction lovers who are searching for a compelling Civil War story will definitely enjoy this book. I sure did.
My sincere thanks to Book Browse, NetGalley, and the publisher for sending me a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

great review, Debbie!! Chris B. has been a favorite author of mine for years I am glad that he has finally caught on with the general public. I haven’t read this one but if you’re saying it’s your favorite I am going to have to read it asap!
