This book weaves the reality of Savannah with a touch of magic, or is it? Savannah is a truly amazing city with so much history, where past and present collide. The author, George Dawes Green, certainly brings both to life in this novel.
The story takes place in the present, and includes many current places that are so much fun to visit! This reader could not put this book down. From the beginning there is mystery and intrigue, with the families involved as well as high society old money, such as there are in Savannah now. A truly rich tale that interweaves current day reality with history, and ghost stories that come to life. The characters span the gamut from homeless to high society as well as dirty cops and bad politicians. The ending was quite the surprise - I always enjoy a good read where justice is served.
Anyone who is familiar with Savannah will enjoy this read, and I highly recommend it to those who aren't - you will soon want to plan your visit!
