Surviving Savannah
by Patti Callahan
3.5 stars. Story about the luxury steamboat Pulaski that was considered "The Titanic of the South" that also sank in 1838 with many families onboard. The story is told in dual timelines with present day Everly, a history professor, who is curating an exhibit on this event and finds some personal connection with it. Alas, I was really pulled into the historical timeline but the present day did not hold my interest as much. Too many things were conveniently found out and I'd rather have seen Everly just research the crap out of the event (like the author clearly did). Kudos to Callahan for such a well researched story that brought me back to 1838. I just wish it had been a straight historical fiction novel - it was fascinating on its own.
