The River Between Us

The blending of real Civil War events with the characters' lives felt seamless. I'm curious if he did extensive research or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The characters' personal conflicts mirrored larger societal issues, making me wonder how much of their inner worlds Peck based on real experiences or observations.

The setting felt so authentic and vivid. I wonder if Peck based it on a specific place or drew from multiple real locations to craft the backdrop.
