Abigail Cutter
Long Shadows by Abigail Cutter. Available for paperback or ebook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Bookshop.
Based closely on the true story of Cutter’s own uncanny encounters in an inherited antebellum Virginia farmhouse and old letters she discovered inside, Long Shadows has been described as a “searing, brilliant, moving, and utterly original Civil War novel.” An ideal read for historical fiction lovers, “Cutter paints a vivid portrait of the 19th century—a time of slavery and civil unrest… striking prose… A somber but absorbing Civil War tale about overcoming guilt” (Kirkus Reviews).
