Description
Welcome to the Civil War Book Group!
After years of conflict over the institution of slavery, the Civil War would be the turning point that set the course of the United States into the 20th century and beyond. Join us on the first Thursday of each month as we explore the meaning of the Civil War and how the past has shaped who we are today through a diverse selection of narratives, novels, and histories. In partnership with the Central Rappahannock Regional Library.
For December:
Varina: A Novel by Charles Frazier
6 pm-7 pm
Meet at Fredericksburg Library Branch (1201 Caroline St., Fredericksburg)
From the author of Cold Mountain comes a story about the complicated Varina Davis, wife of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Varina is both an intimate portrait of a woman who found herself in the center of the Confederacy and a bigger story of the American Civil War and its consequences. Watch an interview with Charles Frazier about Varina with the Toronto Public Library: Appel Salon | Charles Frazier | Nov 7, 2018 - YouTube
