The Earth Trembled: A Tale of Loyalty and Duty in Civil War America Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 11 ratings

Edward Payson Roe's novel, 'The Earth Trembled,' serves as a compelling exploration of the moral dilemmas faced by individuals during the American Civil War. Roe's writing style is characterized by its detailed descriptions and thoughtful character development, making the reader feel fully immersed in the emotions and decisions of the protagonists. Set against the backdrop of a divided nation, the novel delves into themes of loyalty, duty, and the devastating consequences of war on personal relationships. Roe's nuanced portrayal of the complexities of human nature adds depth to the narrative, providing a thought-provoking commentary on the era's societal norms. As a work of historical fiction, 'The Earth Trembled' stands as a testament to the enduring power of literature to offer insights into the past and provoke reflection on the present. Edward Payson Roe, a minister-turned-novelist, drew from his own experiences during the Civil War to infuse the narrative with a sense of authenticity and emotional resonance. His background in theology informs the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters, adding a layer of depth to the novel's exploration of personal and national identity. I highly recommend 'The Earth Trembled' to readers interested in the intersection of history, literature, and moral philosophy, as Roe's masterful storytelling offers a unique perspective on a tumultuous period in American history.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good historical fiction
    Reviewed in the United States on 30 July 2013
    This book reminds me of Gone with the Wind a bit, because of its setting. I really liked all the characters and how each one had their own unique personality and motivations in the story and how each had their own perspective on the Civil War and the Reconstruction. The ending though was just "OK" for me...I wish the author would have given a bit more details of the future of all characters.

    Meant for a different audience... Turgid prose it is.
