Two Girls of Gettysburg
By Lisa Klein
Book Description
From the author of OPHELIA comes another engrossing period novel that's both hard-hitting and romantic, this time about two cousins, torn apart and brought together by the bloodshed of the Civil War.
Lizzie and Rosanna are cousins. But when the Civil War breaks out, Lizzie finds herself committed to the cause of the Union, while Rosie is swept up in the passions of the old south. Torn in their alliances, each girl finds herself grappling with the brutality of war, and the elusive promise of love, until the battle at Gettysburg brings them together once agin.“Klein’s weaving of the young women’s stories to a shared conclusion gives a fresh perspective on the complexities of the Civil War.” ―School Library Journal
"The characterization of the two cousins is well defined. ...Both endure the blood and horror of war realistically. Each of their stories could stand alone, but the view of the Civil War from both sides works most successfully." ―VOYA
