Grant reflects on the crucial moments of his life as a husband, a father, a general, and a president while writing his memoirs and reckoning with his complicated legacy in this epic and intimate novel from the author of the \"masterly\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) novel \u003ci\u003eMarley\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBarely able to walk and rendered mute by the cancer metastasizing in his throat, Ulysses S. Grant is scratching out words, hour after hour, day after day. Desperate to complete his memoirs before his death so his family might have some financial security and he some redemption, Grant journeys back in time. He had once been the savior of the Union, the general to whom Lee surrendered at Appomattox, a twice-elected president who fought for the civil rights of Black Americans and against the rising Ku Klux Klan, a plain farmer-turned-business magnate who lost everything to a Wall Street swindler, a devoted husband to his wife Julia and loving father to four children. In this gorgeously rendered and moving novel, Grant rises from the page in all of his contradictions and foibles, his failures and triumphs. Moving from blood-stained battlefields to Gilded Age New York, the novel explores how Grant's own views on race and Reconstruction changed over time. Another work of \"must-read modern literature\" (Charles Frazier, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author) from historical fiction master Jon Clinch, this evocatively crafted novel breathes fresh life into an American icon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Clinch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1797167367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781797167367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.30h x 6.00w x 1.60d","brand":"Jon Clinch","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44245166129407,"sku":"9781797167367","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_084e5bee-edf1-4559-a738-11b94f50b38f.jpg?v=1693926507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-general-and-julia-jon-clinch-9781797167367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
