THE DISAGREEMENT is a historical novel of the Civil War.<br /><br />The novel has no descriptions or fighting, but plenty of the aftermath of battles. John Alan Muro, the narrator, is a medical student at the University of Virginia (1861-1865).<br /><br />Muro and classmates are pressed into service at the Charlottesville General Hospital, where "Dr." Muro saves the life of a northern officer. Muro also meets Miss Lorrie Wigfal, who becomes Mrs. Muro.<br /><br />The end of the war finds Muro planning to flee his life in Virginia to join the saved Union officer's medical practice.<br /><br />The epilogue is outstanding and a great ending to a wonder first novel.<br /><br />Ernie AielloDenville Public Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06831813283081513823noreply@blogger.com
