Charles Frazier writes historical fiction set largely in the American South, with journeys, landscapes and the aftermath of war shaping his characters' choices. Cold Mountain follows Confederate deserter Inman travelling home through North Carolina towards Ada Monroe, while Ada learns to manage a struggling farm with the help of Ruby Thewes. Thirteen Moons follows an orphaned boy whose life becomes entangled with Cherokee communities and nineteenth-century American expansion, while Nightwoods centres on a woman caring for traumatised children in rural North Carolina. Frazier's prose is descriptive and patient, with physical travel and work given substantial space. His books fit Civil War fiction, Southern historical fiction and journey-centred literary novels.
