A Little Traitor to the South: A War Time Comedy with a Tragic Interlude

A woman caught between two armies. Fanny Glen loves two men fighting for opposite sides of the American Civil War, and neither can let her go. Sempland, the steadfast Union lieutenant, represents duty and honor but lacks the spark that ignites her heart. Lacy, the Confederate major, possesses charm and danger yet carries deep flaws that threaten to destroy them both. As war rages around them, Fanny must navigate not just the conflict tearing the nation apart, but the far more treacherous terrain of her own divided heart. When Sempland undertakes a dangerous mission, Fanny's attempt to save him sets off a chain of events that blends comedy with tragedy in unexpected ways. Written in the early 20th century, this novel captures the absurdity and heartbreak of love when loyalty to one side means betrayal of the other.
