Splintered: A Civil War Saga

Book 2 of The Asunder Trilogy

De: Curt Locklear

Narrado por: Cayla Borruano

The second in a trilogy, Splintered follows the interconnections among a superbly memorable cast of characters during the Civil War as they internally and externally wrestle with why they're fighting, or why they're not fighting at all. Others will grapple with mere survival when the war alarmingly shows up on their front lawn or storefront.

Asunder listeners will delight in the return of abolitionists Cyntha and Joseph Favor, Confederate sympathizers Sara Reeder and Constance Carver, the continuation of opportunists known as the Spiritualist Fox Sisters, and a new story line involving Wranglers who round up and move horses under harrowing conditions to supply the Confederacy.

From its heart-wrenching opening scene of stoic grief in a Lincoln White House on the day of his son Willie's death to the final heart-wrenching battle scene and suprising assasination plot against Lincoln, Splintered proves itself a novel of sweeping, artfully rendered proportions, and one that is at times deeply moving, while always intelligent and socially conscious.

The suspense continues...

I am just as satisfied with this second saga as I was with the first in this trilogy. The story is fast-paced and kept my attention, yet no detail was left to the imagination. The story moves from character to character and I am anxious to find out how they all intertwine together in the final book. The details of the skirmishes are vivid and complete, making me feel like I was an observer. Cayla does a wonderful and talented job narrating!

Outstanding performance

Cayla Burrano, the reader, nailed the story and the multitude of characters and accents. What a blessing to hear the story told so well. Magnificent job.
