Description: Catbird Winter by Mont� Hill The lives of a beautiful, headstrong subsistence farmgirl and a wealthy, defiant WWI ambulance driver collide in remote mountains of North Carolina; where a brewing storm will reshape the mountains and transform the lives of those who survive. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Strife is what happens while you are busy making other plans."We are never so certain as to what we want out of life as when we are young - too young to realize that fate has other ideas.Trevor Middleton, an ambulance driver serving in France with the AAFS during WWI, dreams of flying with the newly formed Escadrille Américaine, a squadron of American rather than French pilots. When Trevor is severely injured in the line of duty, he instead finds himself convalescing in the remote mountains of North Carolina.In those same remote mountains, Annie Conner, the daughter of a subsistence farmer who also serves as the hellfire and brimstone-spitting preacher at the local Pentecostal church, dreams of a better life - one where she is free from poverty and her fathers tyranny. Years of abuse and neglect blind her to the fact that she alone holds the power to escape.When the paths of these two young and headstrong people collide, their tempestuous relationship, borne out of mutual pain and confusion, sets up the perfect storm - a storm which will reshape the mountains themselves and forever transform the lives of those who remain when the raging waters recede. Review Editorial Reviews"A bewitching Southern epic that deals elegantly with the mysteries of fate... Historical fiction meets Southern gothic in this World War I-era doorstop set on an Appalachian farm... Each new chapter, character and plot twist pulls readers into the books carefully crafted universe, thoughtfully grounded in the historical events of the day... Hill is a passionate storyteller and absolutely in her element." - Kirkus ReviewsReviews From Catbird Winter ReadersA Genuine Taste of the Mountains. Its a well-respected maxim in literature that you should write what you know, and in the case of Catbird Winter, Monte Hills debut novel set in 1916 Western North Carolina, its clear that Hill knows her subject. The people, the flora and fauna, the folklore, the history and the culture of Hickory Nut Gorge, where the story is set, all come to brilliant life in Hills work. She paints a detailed and vibrant picture of the area as it must have been a century ago, before tourism and technology transformed it. - Donna Frelick, Author"I found this novel to be totally fascinating. It took me to another time and place. The characters were so well developed that I felt like I knew them. I loved all the descriptions of the flora and topography which added to making the novel seem real. I could picture the characters and place in my minds eye as if it were a movie. I think that it could be made into a great film and I would look forward to seeing it. Once I got into it I couldnt put it down." - Don B."Set in the Appalachian mountains, the story accurately depicts the rich history of the region in vivid detail. Characters and plot are well developed, and the plot flows so feverishly that I could not put it down until it was finished. Good thing I had time off or I may have had to call out from work to finish! It is a definite must read. You will feel like you are nestled in the mountains of western North Carolina in the early 1900s." - Janice B."Catbird Winter uses the setting of rural NC during WWI to explore the relationships, prejudices and challenges of this era. Through rich characters, Hill allows the reader to immerse themselves in this bygone era in a unique setting. I loved the historical information and family stories that formed this story. I cant wait for more!" - Patricia R.
