American Tropic: Florida history in a delicious novel

We borrowed this book and only reluctantly returned it. I am now buying a copy to keep and a copy to circulate among my family members. We are Floridians of many generations. The places and names and histories in the book all ring true. As historical fiction, American Tropic is a credit to the genre. Although the stories are fiction, those stories are clearly tied to historical information and the author cites the connections at the end of each section. The stories are engaging, the characters memorable. A really good read.
