A soldier wounded in the Civil War, Inman turns his back on the carnage of the battlefield and begins the treacherous journey home to Cold Mountain, and to Ada, the woman he loved before the war began. As Inman attempts to make his way across the mountains, through the devastated landscape of a soon-to-be-defeated South, Ada struggles to make a living from the land her once-wealthy father left when he died. Neither knows if the other is still alive.

A great story and beautifully told. Set in 1860's America it tells the very personal stories of Ada at home running the farm and of Inman, an injured soldier journeying home. There are also many other stories woven into the story, about the people met, incidents that happen, the horrors and pointlessness of war and atrocities committed in the name of it. A tender and caring book that's also brutal and unforgiving.
