About this product
Product Information
This magnificent novel by one of America's finest writers is the epic of one man's remarkable journey, set in nineteenth-century America against the background of a vanishing people and a rich way of life. At the age of twelve, under the Wind moon, Will is given a horse, a key, and a map, and sent alone into the Indian Nation to run a trading post as a bound boy. It is during this time that he grows into a man, learning, as he does, of the raw power it takes to create a life, to find a home. In a card game with a white Indian named Featherstone, Will wins for a brief moment a mysterious girl named Claire, and his passion and desire for her spans this novel. As Will's destiny intertwines with the fate of the Cherokee Indians including a Cherokee Chief named Bear he learns how to fight and survive in the face of both nature and men, and eventually, under the Corn Tassel Moon, Will begins the fight against Washington City to preserve the Cherokee's homeland and culture. And he will come to know the truth behind his belief that "only desire trumps time." Brilliantly imagined, written with great power and beauty by a master of American fiction, Thirteen Moons is a stunning novel about a man's passion for a woman, and how loss, longing and love can shape a man's destiny over the many moons of a life. From the Hardcover edition.

Reviews
"Gorgeous…Thirteen Moons calls Cold Mountain to mind in its wonder at the natural world; its pacificist undercurrents; its dismay at the dismantling of what matters, and its convication that one love, no matter how tortured and inexplicable, can be life-defining…fascinating…vivid and alive." Newsweek "Thirteen Moons brings this vanished world thrillingly to life… One of the great Native American, and American stories, and a great gift to all of us, from one of our very best writers." Kirkus Reviews, starred review "There are things so masterful words can't do them justice. Frazier's writing falls in that category…With Thirteen Moons, he's doing important work filling in the gaps, helping restore the roots, of our knowledge of our own history." Asheville Citizen-Times "Fascinating…Reading Thirteen Moons is an intoxicating experience…This is 21st-century literary fiction at its very best." BookPage "Thirteen Moons is rare in many ways and occupies a literary plane of such height that reviewing it is not really salient….Thirteen Moons has the power to inspire great performances from succeeding generations of writers….For those who simply value the literary experience, Thirteen Moons will provide the immense satisfaction of taking a literary journey of magnitude. Whether on a plane, in an office or curled in a window seat, readers who absorb Will's story will find their own lives enriched….Thirteen Moons belongs to the ages." Los Angeles Times "Magical…the history lesson in Thirteen Moons is fascinating and moving…You will find much to admire and savor in Thirteen Moons." USA Today "Verdict: A powerhouse second act….a brilliant success…Frazier's second act should convince everyone that he's here to stay. It is a powerful, dramatic, often surprising and memorable novel." Atlanta Journal Constitution "Thirteen Moons is a boisterous, confident novel that draws from the epic tradition... Frazier is a natural storyteller, and throughout his picaresque tale are grand themes and eulogies" Boston Globe "Warm hearted…Frazier is a remarkably meticulous and tasteful writer… Thirteen Moons is a worthy successor to the first novel and a highly readable book." Seattle Times "To Charles Frazier, words are playthings. Like very few other contemporary American novelists, he puts them together in such a way that they can transform an otherwise mundane moment, scene or conversation into one that is transcendent….No sophomore jinx here. Reading a Frazier novel is like listening to a fine symphony. He's a maestro whose pen is his baton, beckoning the best that each sentence has to offer. And just as you wouldn't rush a conductor, you should take the time to savor Frazier's work, to take in each thought, to relish the turn of phrase or the imagery of a craftsman." Denver Post "Two for two…Here is a book brimming with vivid, adventurous incident…Charles Frazier set himself a daunting challenge with this book. He set out to write a historical novel that was retrospective and meditative, yet still vibrant and immediate with life. Thirteen Moons succeeds in classy fashion." Raleigh News & Observer "If current fiction is anything to go by, it's hard for a novelist to make Santayana's puzzle pieces, Praise for "Cold Mountain": "Cold Mountain is written with the striding, casual confidence of an experienced craftsman - it's lush, poetic, moving and artfully exciting. . . . Perhaps the most eloquent writing about the awful drudgery and desperation of the Civil War since Thomas Keneally's Confederates. . . . A heightened, thrilling love story. . . . A great read." -"The Globe and Mail" "Frazier is exemplary . . . the recreation, or imitation of Inman's vanished world is eerily good. . . . A vivid and engrossing story." -Philip Marchand, Toronto Star "Astonishing . . . a page-turner that attains the status of literature." -"Newsweek" "A story that seems at times to rise to an ethereal plane . . . antique, soulful and unforgettable." -"Chicago Tribune" "On nearly every page of Charles Frazier's stunning, widely praised first novel, Cold Mountain, there is a jewel - a turn of phrase or evocative detail that stops you in your tracks. . . . Deserves a place alongside other great novels of that terrible war." -"USA Today" "A rare and extraordinary book . . .heart-stopping . . . spellbinding." -"The San Francisco Chronicle" "An astonishing first novel." -Alfred Kazin, "The New York Review of Books" "A remarkable first novel, a romance of love, of friendship, of family, of land. Frazier has inhaled the spirit of the age and breathes it into the reader's being." -"The Times" (London) "Strikingly beautiful." -"Newsday" "From the Hardcover edition."
