Exiled South by Harriet Cannon – Review by Jana Lewis
Exiled South by Harriet Cannon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I found this to be an interesting story. As a lover of history, and the American Civil War, especially, discussion of Confederates who escaped after the war are very rarely discussed. Situations involving mixed-race offspring are not often discussed, either, but this story brings both situations into focus and exploration. The main struggle I had was just that the story was written fully in present tense, including sections that take place in the past. The majority of what I read is written in past tense so it’s just an adjustment on my part. But I do like how this story gave me a different view of the war that I didn’t know existed.
