Events › Adult Book Club: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

Join the Canaryville Branch Adult Book Club for a discussion of the 1994 book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.


"After discovering in the early 1980s that a super-saver fare to Savannah, Ga., cost the same as an entree in a nouvelle Manhattan restaurant, Esquire columnist Berendt spent the next eight years flitting between Savannah and New York City. The result is this collection of smart, sympathetic observations about his colorful Southern neighbors..." -Publisher's Weekly 

""Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to call a travel agent and book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime."- Glenna Whitley, The New York Times 

"a compelling, morbidly fascinating, beautifully written book..."- Savannah Morning News

Come into the branch, grab a copy of the book, and then join us for a lively discussion!
