Stranger in Savannah

The final book of Price's Savannah Quartet, this follows the Browning, Mackay and Stiles families from 1854 through the war between the states. ``Even avid fans may find that endless parlor scenes and flowery, sentimental dialogue make the first half of this overpadded novel drag, but Price gains momentum, power and passion when she writes of how the Civil War broke the hearts of Rebels and Yankees alike,'' noted PW.
