Readers will remember: The General and Julia (Jon Clinch)

This General was one of the most famous ones ever. This General who married Julia was Ulysses S. Grant. What a life he had. A lot of this was centered on his Civil War role but, of course, he was also a president and much more.

In this beautiful work of historical fiction, Clinch takes on the voice of a Grant who can no longer speak due to throat cancer. Clinch shows who Grant was and what was important to him as he tells his subject’s story here. Readers will learn not only about the public man but also the husband and father.

Grant had massive triumphs in his life but also moments of despair. Get to know the full man in this terrific novel.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
