Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, by Allan Gurganus

4.0

This wasn't the easiest book I've ever read but the stories in it were fascinating. None that I would have ever expected from the title. The author had an amazing way of taking the voice of each character in each separate story and owning it. The book is sort of random, told just like an old woman might ramble around telling different stories from her life. A few ended quite shockingly, especially the one at the end. The only thing that got on my nerves throughout was the incorrect use of "a" when coming before a word staring with a vowel. I don't think the word "an" was used anywhere in all 875 pages!
