I have read Corrigan's Pool several times and everytime I read it
I do not want to put it down. It is not only interesting to read
about the the era of the book, it's also educational in many ways.
I recommend this book to anyone, no matter what your reading
interests are. This book should be a made for t.v. 3 day series.
It could also be made a good movie. It's much like Gone with the
Wind but, in my opinion, even better.

Loved the book...If you are looking for a love story with depth and substance you are in luck...like the "strong woman" characters -- I like being able to read a book I can leave around that I will be proud to say "yes, I am reading that book" ... but still love a love story
with depth that came through in time......
I am so ready for book two, Miss Dot.
Corrigans Pool is a great piece of civil war historical fiction with great character development and the potential to be a mini series on
TV. Romance, war, slavery...all intertwined and truly educational as well as simply enjoyable reading. It is easy to read and great for discussion.
I have ordered it for my book club as well.

My wife has this book and wanted me to read it. By the end of Part One you will know that this is not totally a romance novel. I started Parts Two and Three with a burst of enthusasm that lasted all the way to the end. It's a great read. I won't forget many of the characters.

Corrigans' Pool is one of the best books I have ever started reading. Kinda makes me mad when I have to stop and do my work. A movie should be made from this book. A relative recommended I buy it, and I ordered it from Barnes and Noble in Pasadena (Tx). Glad I did!

Overview
ELLA CORRIGAN'S despair at being jilted pales in light of what follows after she makes the hasty decision to marry a man she has long avoided.

The South is embroiled in a bloody Civil War by the time Ella discovers that Corrigans' Pool, on her family's property, is much more than the exquisite pond she had thought it to be all her life, but by the time she learns its dangerous secret, she is trapped by a secret of her own,
