The Wave (1929) By Evelyn Scott
 
This is the story of countless characters during the Civil War - northern, southern, black, white, male, and female - from a range of backgrounds and facing many different predicaments. Like drops of water in a wave, they are all caught up in the overwhelming force of war, of history.
 
 "The Wave" is not only one of the most impressive novels written in twentieth century america but one which is profoundly original in form and spirit as well. In choosing the Civil War, Miss Scott has chosen the largest subject which the history of her country affords and she has given this mighty theme the most adequate treatment which it has ever received in fiction"
