Surviving Savannah
by Patti Callahan
Have you heard of the Pulaski,” the titanic of the south“. A steamship that sunk off the coast of North Carolina in 1838, carrying some of the wealthiest residents of Savanna at the time?
Not me. I love reading about historical events that are turned into historical fictions and although im happy to have heard about this steamboat I am heartbroken over the loss of life due to human error and lack of safety protocals.
This is a dual timelime Story bouncing between 1838 and present. The present day story is about Everly. An archaeologists who has been hired to put together the museum exhibit of the Pulaski.
The past story alternates between the perspectives of Lily and Augusta. Both ladies are members of the same wealthy Savanna family and are traveling on the Pulaski to spend the summer in New York. Lily is traveling with her husband, her baby, and her nursemaid.
Augusta was traveling with her brother and his family, she is a doting aunt. about social expectations.
Both storylines quickly captured my attention. Everlys research into that stemboat made me think that i was a researcher in a past life.
Lily and Augusta’s stories were much more intense and Patti did an amazing job of vividly describing the scenes in this book and i felt like I was in Savannah again.
I felt like I was right there with both Augusta and Lily trying to hang on with everything they got. Made me really think about the resilience of the human spirit and the desire to survive.
Another wonderful story from this excellent author.
