  • "This story is told from the viewpoint of the son of abolitionist John Brown. It is the story of generational struggle as well as a dazzling re-creation of the political and social landscape of the antebellum world."
  • "Owen Brown is the last surviving son of America's most famous political terrorist, John Brown, who in 1859 raided the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, intending to galvanise the Southern slaves into rebellion. Now Owen tells John's story. This incredible novel recreates pre-Civil War America, when slavery was tearing the country apart, and tells of one man's passage from abolitionist to guerrilla fighter and, finally, martyr. "Cloudsplitter" is a dazzling, suspenseful, heartbreaking story filled with both intimate scenes of domestic life and chilling violence."
