In 1997, Charles Frazier’s debut novel Cold Mountain made
publishing history when it sailed to the top of The New York
Times best-seller list for sixty-one weeks, won numerous
literary awards, including the National Book Award, and went
on to sell over three million copies. Now, the beloved
American epic returns, reissued by Grove Press to coincide
with the publication of Frazier’s eagerly-anticipated second
novel, Thirteen Moons. Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the fighting at
Petersburg, a Confederate soldier named Inman decides to
walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge mountains to Ada,
the woman he loves. His trek across the disintegrating South
brings him into intimate and sometimes lethal converse with
slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both
helpful and malign. At the same time, the intrepid Ada is
trying to revive her father’s derelict farm and learning to
survive in a world where the old certainties have been swept
away. As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts
itself as an authentic odyssey, hugely powerful,
majestically lovely, and keenly moving.
