I don't know offhand of any novels about the period in Florida, but if you Google 'Rose Cleveland' and 'Naples Florida' you'll find a wonderful story of an illicit and scandalous love affair between Rose and Evangeline, a wealthy widow...I researched it when I was writing my book about their great friend Nelly Erichsen
Boy, you sent me down a rabbit hole. I love Florida's Gilded Age history. It's not a novel but Florida's Healing Waters:
Gilded Age Mineral Springs, Seaside Resorts, and Health Spas, by Rick Kilby is on my TBR list.
Great pics of Jekyll Island! That's a beautiful area.
Oh, yay! I have that book. Hope to get to it before much longer!
For me, it's definitely the architecture 😍
Me too! My old set designer self goes nuts!
Beautiful photos and love the history!
Thank you! So much to dig into...
