Dreams of Savannah

by | Jan 11, 2021 | Book Review

I enjoyed Dreams of Savannah. Multiple POVs allow a nuanced look at life for slave owners and slaves. I found myself mostly drawn to the plight of Luther and Salina as they seek freedom and dignity. Salina, with plenty of secrets, tugs at the heartstrings as she navigates life in servitude to Cordelia. 

Cordelia and Phineas grow throughout the novel as they reexamine old values and lifestyles. I liked Cordelia’s desire to tell stories. She’s quite the romantic. As the story progresses, Cordelia eventually realizes that she can’t continue to gloss over the realities of her southern world. The change within the main characters is to be commended. However, the drama and emotion remain with Luther and Salina.

Roseanna’s rich descriptions bring this era to life. 4.5 stars. Available wherever books are sold. Appropriate for bookclubs with a discussion guide.
