"Neverhome" by Laird Hunt. ***

● Stewart Place Book Club selection
●  Audiobook
●  Originally published in 2014
●  Review:  The subject matter of this novel, women who posed as men in order to fight in the Civil War, was very intriguing.  I also was impressed by the noted difference between historical accounts of war and the nitty gritty, smelly, awful, bloody side of a soldier's life.  It was a good story, except much seemed unexplained to me.  The end was quite gripping and creative.  Nonetheless,  the overall feeling I was left with was that the writing was run-of-the-mill.
