Comment On About Books The Outcast (Morland Dynasty #21)

This book gets pretty gross as slavery is glossed over and it's way sympathetic to the slaveowners and the Confederacy. I'll see if the next books improve - love the earlier one but this one stopped me cold. It is likely just fine to skip it entirely...

Too much about the American civil war

the continuing saga of the morland family.benedict moreland takes lennox to america to be with his sister as his father is dead. his sister does not know about this brother as she thinks benedict is her father. when benedict is in america the onset of the civil war begins, but he is able to get out and home to england. mary looses her husband in the war. the plantation is also burnt by marauders and she kills a man to safe herself from being raped. charlotte is also going through a dificult time

This book is #21 in the Morland Dynasty series and the first to spend so much time out of England. It takes place during the American Civil War, and about half the book is about characters who are in the Charleston, South Carolina area during the war. The other half is about characters back home in York and Manchester.The Civil War part of the story was interesting and well-written, although any fan of Gone with the Wind will find some parts similar - but how could they not be? What's done well

This book makes me think that maybe British historical fiction writers maybe shouldn't be allowed to write about American history. Sadly, Ms. Harrod-Eagles probably read Gone With the Wind way too many times and fell hook, line, and sinker for the myth of the heroic Southern Cause.

Interesting perspective of the American Civil War from the British.
