Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan
5.0
I had never heard of the Pulaski but now that I have read Patti Callahan’s Surviving Savannah, I am curious to find out more. The dual timelines are perfect. They each tell the story of Pulaski with the real experience coming in the 1838 timeline and the present timeline tells of the research of the Pulaski.
The persistence of Everly and her research was wonderful. The lengths she went to and how that research was able to push her to start living her life again, a life that she had not been fully living since the loss of her best friend.
Lilly and Augusta are able to tell their story as the ship explodes, they are thrown into the cold waters, and are doing everything they can to just survive. I was in awe of their strength and their will to live. Their lives were at risk and their futures unknown, yet they never stopped hoping to find land and be saved.
Surviving Savannah will be one of the top historical fiction books of 2021 for me.
