Cold Mountain - a book by Charles Frazier

Charles Frazier's Civil War odyssey set in North Carolina's Blue Ridge mountains interweaves the adventures of Inman, a wounded army deserter trying to find his way home, with those of Ada, his sweetheart. A city woman stranded alone on her dead father's useless farm, Ada's life is in as much danger as her lover's. While Inman's encounters with the monsters and magicians of the Confederate South play out, Ada forges an unlikely alliance with a homeless mountain girl whose rough-edged version of survival turns both of their lives around. Cold Mountain miraculously offers the beauty, characterization and immaculate language of the best of modern literary fiction while weaving a story that will envelope even the most jaded of readers. Frazier won the National Book Award in 1997 for his debut novel, which was a New York Times bestseller for 45 weeks and has since been adapted into a major motion picture directed by Anthony Minghella (The English Patient) and slated for release on Christmas Day. The film version starts Jude Law as Inman, Nicole Kidman as Ada, and Renee Zellweger as Ruby.
