A review by engpunk77
City of Refuge by Tom Piazza

3.0

3.5. The beginning and ending were rough, but the middle (when Hurricane Katrina arrives) kept me hungry for more. It ended up being a good choice as prep for my first New Orleans visit; this book worships the city, its people, and its culture. I just wasn’t at all attached to the characters. But I do hAve new understanding of some NOLA residents’ choices not to evacuate and a much deeper appreciation for what actually happened to people who stayed and those who evacuated.
