Hall's evocative history refracts the post-Civil War South through sisters who responded to their Confederate heritage in different but equally powerful ways. -- New York Times Book Review The word befitting this work is 'masterpiece.' Sisters and Rebels is an impassioned, elegant, evocative narrative that turns biography into art and scholarship into the profound understanding of a South searching for its soul. -- -Paula J. Giddings, author of IDA: A Sword among Lions
