Cold Mountain - Brossura

'Cold Mountain is a heartbreakingly beautiful story, elegantly told and utterly convincing down to the last haunting detail'

John Berendt

'Cold Mountain is a superb novel - thrilling, richly detailed and powerful. I was spellbound for two days'

Frank Conroy

'This is one of the best books I've read in a long time, and I cried when it was over. It's simply a miracle'

Larry Brown

'Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain is the most impressive and enthralling first novel I have read in a long time. It is a magnetic story, ambitious in scope, with richly developed characters and beautiful evocations of landscape. Though set in an earlier time, it is contemporary in the profoundest sense, with a resonance of A Farewell to Arms'

Willie Morris

'A deeply satisfying novel in the best tradition of narrative fiction'

Margaret Forster

'Cold Mountain deserves any and all prizes that might be lying around'

Kaye Gibbons

'This novel is so magnificent that the shadow of this book, and the joy I received in reading it, will fall over every other book I read'

Rick Bass

It was the inspiration for the Oscar-winning film directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, and Renee Zellweger.

A second novel, THIRTEEN MOONS, was published by Sceptre in 2007 and NIGHTWOODS, Charles' latest novel set in a lakeside town in 1960s North Carolina, was published in September 2011.
