The Kingdoms of Savannah by George Dawes GreenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an absolutely fascinating and compelling family saga combined with a mystery along with a large dose of Savannah history thrown in!
I knew virtually nothing about Savannah or its history prior to reading this book. The author does an incredible job of placing the reader smack dab in the middle of the town. I certainly got a feel for the heat, humidity, colorful characters, Southern charm as well as deceit, slavery backstory, and the 'haves' and 'have-nots' of Savannah society including the large homeless population.
I appreciated the extensive content contained in the Book Discussion Guide on the publisher's website. It contained an extensive cast of characters, a map of Savannah locations, an interview with the author, discussion questions, and even recipes for book club drink pairings!
