Published in 1956 and out of print. Liked it, but would have been hard to follow if I didn't have a good background in Civil War history. Delmar paints Judah Benjamin as a saint; history paints him as a controversial character. I suppose the truth lies somewhere in between. I doubt he was as wise and saintly as Delmar portrays.

This is the story of Judah P. Benjamin and his Creole wife - - a very unorthodox relationship, particularly for the times and for the Confederate South. Believed to have engaged in a series of relationships outside of the marriage, and at the very least a woman who preferred living in Paris to staying by her husband's side, Benjamin's wife is certainly not the traditional "woman of the times" - - and as a Jewish lawyer, Benjamin is certainly not the traditional Confederate hero. However, both characters and their love survive decades of separation and the Civil War to emerge triumphantly at the other side in their later years. An excellent read - - it makes me very sad that this book is out of print and only available through used book stores.

finished; love this book; Ms. Cameron is always a keeper

Currently re-reading this one. I've owned it for years but it's on my keeper shelf. Sometimes, I pick up one of those and it's like seeing an old friend again. Ms. Cameron does a great job in bringing the story to the reader.

I can’t understand how Judah was able to hold back as much as he did. What a kind and humble man. I was sad for him and what he went through his whole life for much of the book. This book was sad to me.

I learned that when one buys a "lot" of books from ebay, one gets more than one lemon.

Romance was pretty good but didn't like the mystery involved. Good female character.
