Jamie MacGillivrayBy: John Sayles A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice 'It gets under the skin of this extraordinary time in a way that few historical novels do. Sayles writes superbly about the confusion of warfare and deals equally well with the horrors of the plantations This is a first rate historical novel told with wit, verve and a subtle understanding of the mechanics of the genre.' The New York Times Book Review "John Sayles is a living master."
