Readalikes: If you liked March's selection . . .

If you enjoyed Junius and Albert's Adventures in the Confederacy: A Civil War Odyssey by Peter Carlson, then you might these titles suggested by our discussion group members: Cold Mountain: A Novel by Charles Frazier in which a wounded Civil War soldier returns to his home in the mountains of North Carolina and is hunted by the Home Guard as a deserter; This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War by Drew Gilpin Faust, which explores the impact of the enormous death toll of the Civil War; and, of course, The Odyssey, the classic epic poem by Homer.
