The Myth of Perpetual Summer by Susan Crandall

4.0

I should have been reading this on my front porch swing with an ice cold cola and my dog at my feet but I wasn’t but that is the exact type of feeling this book does give you. It's enjoyable how this book goes through its telling of the story by jumping through the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s you get a little insight of each decade.

Tallulah is growing up in a small southern Mississippi town and is
actually having to raise her younger siblings with a bit of help from her Gran and no help from her mentally unstable father.

We have a perfect setup of a southern gothic story of a dysfunctional family, murder, family secrets, juicy gossip and a touch of mental
disturbance of family members.
What else do you need in a deep southern book?
