Book Reviews of Sullivan's Island (Lowcountry Tales)

Book Review: Sullivan's Island: A very sweet story of the South
Summary: 5 Stars

Being that I've lived in Charleston, SC for a number of years I thought I'd give Sullivan's Island by Dorothea Benton Frank a try and I'm so glad I did. I usually go for faster-paced novels such as thrillers and murder mysteries, but I found myself staying up late just to keep reading Sullivan's Island. Sullivan's Island tells the tale of a 40-something woman who was born and raised on Sullivan's Island (an island just north of Charleston) and the story runs parallel to her childhood of when she was a young teenager.

I'm afraid that readers unfamiliar with the area may get a little annoyed with the frequent references to various streets and places that most likely are not familiar enough to the casual reader. As a local I quite enjoyed the references to places I've been and have inspired me to go find the places I'd never heard of.

The story had a little bit of mystery (what or who actually did kill her father?) and a touch of the supernatural (ghosts in mirrors?) along with self-discovery. I highly recommend Sullivan's Island and I look forward to reading more books by Frank.

Summary of Sullivan's Island (Lowcountry Tales)

The New York Times bestseller?in paperback for the first time!

Set in the steamy, stormy landscape of South Carolina, Sullivan's Island tells the unforgettable story of one woman's courageous journey toward truth.

Born and raised on idyllic Sullivan's Island, Susan Hayes navigated through her turbulent childhood with humor, spunk, and characteristic Southern sass. But years later, she is a conflicted woman with an unfaithful husband, a sometimes resentful teenage daughter, and a heart that aches with painful, poignant memories. And as Susan faces her uncertain future, she realizes that she must go back to her past. To the beachfront house where her sister welcomes her with open arms. To the only place she can truly call home.
