This book was so fascinating. An indepth dive into Savannahs sordid history. The amount of white and male washed history out there is like 85%. But the stories are out there just not always being told to entertain the tourists.
This family was very dysfunctional with very interesting relationships that were controlling. One of them lived in the homeless encampments to stay away from his rich controlling southern mama. This i think was an important viewpoint. In humanizing the homeless experience. It's an epidemic in this country and although there are resources not everyone wants to be in society. Some are by choice, lack of money or employment, drugs or alcohol, untreated mental health issues, the list goes on. Society isn't a one size fits all box and it always reminds me of the factionless in Divergent. You don't fit in you get pushed out.
I really enjoyed this one! The mystery was there and poor Stoney. There were a few suspects that could've been it. It wasn't exactly who I thought it was but you know it all boils down to money and land.
There was history in this that was under the fictional story and the Gothic and lovely mossy trees of Savannah came through.
Thank you Celadon books for the gifted copy.
