A true love story that takes your breath away about how love can conquer even the biggest obstacles. A story about how a man traveled all the way from the Civil war to Tennessee just to get back to the he truly loved the most. He was the type of person that would do anything for true love. The novel Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier is a love story any one should be able to read because you get so hooked in the beginning of the story.

Love was not even the best part about this book but how he risked his life for her and traveled so far to be with her once more. Even though they met only a few times throughout their lives when they set their eyes on each other they knew it had to have been true love. What Inman had done to be back with her was something that a man would never do because they would never risk their lives unless they truly loved her. Even though I really liked this book at points I felt like I wouldn’t be able to finish it but I finally did. The way I got myself through was by telling myself as I get closer to the end it should begin to get better.

The love and connection they had between the both of them took me into another world. The love they shared was so strong that even a normal person would not believe. Throughout the end of the story you would begin to believe that after they finally met once again they would spend the rest of their lives together but this is not your perfect love story. What had really happened was that they met once again but after a while of them being together he had ended up dying in her arms. So as you cans see not the best ending but a shocking twist to a true love story. Well from then on there she had spent the rest of her life living with her friend Ruby and her daughter she found out she was to have before he died.

Well after reading this book I would recommend it to anyone who really likes love stories and who are also a patient person or else you would not be able to finish this book. Well the only thing I was surprised about was that I actually was able to finish this book because I am not very patient either. Well overall this turned out to be a good book.
