Dreams of Falling by Karen WhiteMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.0/5.0 - In a small southern town, three girls, Margaret, CeeCee and Bitty are best friends. As a graduation present to themselves, they go to Margaret's aunt's home in Myrtle Beach, where two of the girls fall in love with brothers. One night together brings lasting consequences for the group. But its 1951, the younger brother feels a duty to enter the military, like the older brother did.
Fast forward two generations, twins Mabry and Bennett are best friends with Larkin, the granddaughter. Larkin's mother, Ivy (child of Margaret and a brother), was raised by CeeCee and Boyd, after Margaret dies in a devastating fire.
It's a wonderful example of southern lit, with just a little bit of magical realism thrown in, as well as love, friendship, a plantation house in ruins, and secrets. Always secrets.
