Reviews
Praise for "Cold Mountain": "Cold Mountain is written with the striding, casual confidence of an experienced craftsman - it's lush, poetic, moving and artfully exciting. . . . Perhaps the most eloquent writing about the awful drudgery and desperation of the Civil War since Thomas Keneally's Confederates. . . . A heightened, thrilling love story. . . . A great read." -"The Globe and Mail" "Frazier is exemplary . . . the recreation, or imitation of Inman's vanished world is eerily good. . . . A vivid and engrossing story." -Philip Marchand, Toronto Star "Astonishing . . . a page-turner that attains the status of literature." -"Newsweek" "A story that seems at times to rise to an ethereal plane . . . antique, soulful and unforgettable." -"Chicago Tribune" "On nearly every page of Charles Frazier's stunning, widely praised first novel, Cold Mountain, there is a jewel - a turn of phrase or evocative detail that stops you in your tracks. . . . Deserves a place alongside other great novels of that terrible war." -"USA Today" "A rare and extraordinary book . . .heart-stopping . . . spellbinding." -"The San Francisco Chronicle" "An astonishing first novel." -Alfred Kazin, "The New York Review of Books" "A remarkable first novel, a romance of love, of friendship, of family, of land. Frazier has inhaled the spirit of the age and breathes it into the reader's being." -"The Times" (London) "Strikingly beautiful." -"Newsday", " Gorgeous... Thirteen Moons calls Cold Mountain to mind in its wonder at the natural world; its pacificist undercurrents; its dismay at the dismantling of what matters, and its convication that one love, no matter how tortured and inexplicable, can be life-defining... fascinating... vivid and alive." "- Newsweek" " Thirteen Moons brings this vanished world thrillingly to life... One of the great Native American, and American stories, and a great gift to all of us, from one of our very best writers."

Synopsis
Charles Frazier's Thirteen Moons is the story of one man's remarkable life, spanning a century of relentless change. At the age of twelve, an orphan named Will Cooper is given a horse, a key, and a map and is sent on a journey through the wilderness to the edge of the Cherokee Nation, the uncharted white space on the map. Will is a bound boy, obliged to run a remote Indian trading post. As he fulfills his lonesome duty, Will finds a father in Bear, a Cherokee chief, and is adopted by him and his people, developing relationships that ultimately forge Will's character. All the while, his love of Claire, the enigmatic and captivating charge of volatile and powerful Featherstone, will forever rule Will's heart. In a distinct voice filled with both humor and yearning, Will tells of a lifelong search for home, the hunger for fortune and adventure, the rebuilding of a trampled culture, and above all an enduring pursuit of passion. As he comes to realize, "When all else is lost and gone forever, there is yearning. One of the few welcome lessons age teaches is that only desire trumps time." Will Cooper, in the hands of Charles Frazier, becomes a classic American soul: a man devoted to a place and its people, a woman, and a way of life, all of which are forever just beyond his reach. Thirteen Moons takes us from the uncharted wilderness of an unspoiled continent, across the South, up and down the Mississippi, and to the urban clamor of a raw Washington City. Throughout, Will is swept along as the wild beauty of the nineteenth century gives way to the telephones, automobiles, and encroaching railways of the twentieth. Steeped in history, rich in insight, and filled with moments of sudden beauty, Thirteen Moons is an unforgettable work of fiction by an American master.
