Reviews

[P.C. Zick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lori Crane has done it again. She's written another southern historical novel with unforgettable characters. Savannah's Bluebird is set in the years after the stock market crash in 1929 in Biloxi.

The delightful story of the bluebird and its relation to true love stands at the center of this charming and magical tale of the vagaries of life and its various dips and turns.

Crane creates a haunting tale with a surprise ending. Savannah's Bluebird is more of a novella so to say anything more about it would be to give away too much of its intriguing plot.

I recommend Savannah's Bluebird for a relaxing read on a rainy afternoon or a day at the beach this summer. You'll be rewarded with a trip back to a different place and time with a few surprises on the journey.

This is a short novella that take place in 1929 in Biloxi, Mississippi. A beautifully written southern love story, at times a bit confusing.
A haunting, tragic story about two young lovers, their families and friends, with a very surprising end, a good clean tale, interesting from the beginning to the end.

I found this to be a poorly developed mess of a novella. The story is super-hokey, the writing is skitty-skatty, and the characters are flat and forgettable. This story is proof that even a good author can have a bad day and write a bad story. Glad it was so short.

I did not like this book as much as her other books.
