The Crisis by Churchill A Civil War era novel review
Winston Churchill's The Crisis, a Civil War era romance, arrives from Macmillan to mixed early praise. Critics call the volume technically strong with revised chapters and strong character study though not as captivating as Richard Carvel. The heroine is the granddaughter of Carvel and the story links to evolving national thought amid divided post revolution era. A New York Times reviewer lauds its portraits of colonial aristocracy versus Puritan society and calls it a powerful, though less universally loved, Civil War novel.
