Character have similar flaws as her southern peers: brash, impetuous & overconfident. However, she used her brain & listened to other people's advice to slowly build up a spy network to help union soldiers escape & give President Lincoln what the Confederate leaders were thinking. Very good Civil war story on Virginia home-front on starvation, inflation & Confederate government acting like a parasite. Confederate was too much lion, not enough fox using Machiavelli metaphor. Short, but not dry novel.
