With discussions led by USC-Aiken humanities scholars, LTAI is more than your average book club! Participants will read, watch, and then compare the novels to their film adaptations. This 2003 film, based on the novel by SC author Charles Frazier, actors featured include: Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Eileen Atkins, Brendan Gleeson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Giovanni Ribisi, Donald Sutherland, and Ray Winstone.
“Inman, a young Confederate soldier who is injured during the explosive 1864 battle of Petersburg, Virginia, is struggling to make his way home to Cold Mountain, NC, where his beloved Ada awaits him. In Inman’s absence, Ada befriends Ruby, who helps her keep up her late father’s farm. Meanwhile, in his travels, Inman encounters a menagerie of interesting and colorful characters.”
