Cloudsplitter - by Russell Banks A wonderful historical novel about the family and activities of abolitionist John Brown, written in the voice of his one surviving son. Doesn't start out as a quick easy page turner but it has real substance once it grabs you. Jerry... just ordered Walk Across Egypt online. Looking forward to it. I'll send you my impressions some time later in the winter when I expect I will finally get to sitting down and reading it.
