Love is the Sum of It All review critique
The review assesses George Cary Eggleston’s Love is the Sum of It All as unusual and ambitious. It highlights its Old Dominion Civil War reconstruction setting, its plain speech on the negro question, and dual love stories. It praises informative content for readers of the old South while noting uneven dramatic impact and heavy, overworked prose.
