I appreciate the unconditional loving relationship these women have! I feel like I have been led into the inter-sanctum of a mental health struggle and recovery. The vulnerability is authentic and real. This story is all about real life and is full of hope and acceptance. Bravo!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6,718
Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative flows like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.

Timeless Characters in a Timeless City
Reviewed: 11-02-24
Where to start?! Perhaps with a time and place that is no longer. It’s stepping into a deeply southern city, with its grand antebellum mansions and moss-draped oaks, a city that has yet to be discovered by the modern fast-paced world. The magic is that all the locals are happy with everything just as it is. And who could blame them. Great storytelling.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 93
Harry Crews grew up as the son of a sharecropper in Georgia at a time when “the rest of the country was just beginning to feel the real hurt of the Great Depression but it had been living in Bacon County for years.” Yet what he conveys in this moving, brutal autobiography of his first six years of life is an elegiac sense of community and roots from a rural South that had rarely been represented in this way.

I loved this story! It was brutal and beautiful all at the same time. It helped me to understand a time, place and people. Georgia in the 20’s and 30’s was hard living. I’m so glad that Harry Crews lent his voice and experience. Americana at its best.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 557
A lone narrator meets a railway worker who is confined to a cold, gloomy station in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance. This worker is a signalman, and it is his responsibility to give the green light for trains to pass through the area. These are slow, monotonous days. The signalman’s life is not marked by much, until the nightmares begin. Three times in a row, a ghost mysteriously appears before the signalman – and with each apparition, a tragic accident unfolds on the rail tracks. Although our narrator doubts the man at first, events soon make him a believer too.
