This was a lovely book. The story revolves around the city of
Charleston and anyone who read and loved Midnight in the Garden of Good and
Evil might like this book as much. There
is so much history of the city, the families, the houses, and the customs of
Charleston in the pages of this book.
Many of the characters remind one of the characters in Berendt’s
book. If they were not actual living citizens
of Charleston, Margaret Bradham Thornton has done a wonderful job in making them
seem as if they were.
In the book Eliza and Henry meet again
after being apart for ten years. They
were madly in love until Henry made an error in judgment which caused Eliza to
leave him and Charleston. Both of them
have matured and led full lives but in reuniting they find that they have not
grown apart and the story continues from there.
The author does a good job of putting
the reader into the spirit and atmosphere of Charleston. I really liked this book.
