Rita Zwiefel-Macdonald“It's set in Savannah, GA, which is eternally summery/sticky/humid! A non-fiction story that follows an antique dealer on trial for alleged murder.”

Bridgette Th“It’s a nonfiction classic for a reason! Extremely propulsive, very descriptive and the treatment of queerness is surprisingly modern. I can’t stop thinking about it and Savannah in general.”
