Irene Hunt's 'Across Five Aprils'
[ send me this paper ]
In 5 pages the author discusses the main characters, the plot, the theme, a brief analysis and a review of 'Across Five Aprils' by Irene Hunt. ''Across Five Aprils' is the unforgettable story of a boy who comes of age during the turbulent years of the Civil War. This is a good book that will keep the reader breathless to the very end. The mood during the Civil War is captured perfectly by author Irene Hunt. She secures the viewpoint of the families during the war. This is accentuated by the fact that brothers at times had to fight brothers. This book is both a historically authentic Civil War novel and a beautifully written story of one family's coping with the war and its many problems.'
