"Cold Mountain is a heartbreakingly beautiful story, elegantly told and utterly convincing down to the last haunting detail."--John Berendt
"Cold Mountain is the best Civil War novel since Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels. Written in a style equal to that of Shelby Foote, this novel deserves any and all prizes that might be lying about."-Kaye Gibbons
"This novel is so magnificent-in every conceivable aspect, and others previously unimagined—that it has occurred to me that the shadow of this book and the joy I received in reading it, will fall over every other book I ever read. It seems even possible to never want to read another book, so wonderful is this one. Cold Mountain is one of the great accomplishments in American literature."-Rick Bass
"Charles Frazier's novel is at once spare and eloquent, a panorama that the author stills long enough to make a portrait-a very evocative portrait of Inman, a soldier who is trying to escape a ruined world. Interspersed with so many moments of sadness, the many moments of compassion seem entirely convincing and are very affecting; when Ada 'wanted to tell him how she had come to be what she was,' the understatement-as it is so often in Cold Mountain-is almost shattering. And then comes the ending."-Ann Beattie
"Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain is the most impressive and enthralling first novel I have read in a long time. It is a magnetic story, ambitious in scope, with richly developed characters and beautiful evocations of landscape. Though set in an earlier time, it is contemporary in the profoundest sense, with resonance of A Farewell to Arms."-Willie Morris
