Customer Reviews

Enjoying Miss Eliza, yet again.

I just completed reading Savannah, for the second time. I read it many years ago and loved it then. Recently I was reading Stranger in Savannah and felt I had to go buy Savannah so I could see Mark as a young man again. I find Ms. Price's historical novels educational and entertaining. Savannah, as the Saint Simon's Trilogys, make the reader anxious for the next book about the Mackay and Browning families. The book is well written,historically accurate, and a great read. As with every Price book I've read,I wanted another to read,right away!

Savannah Quartet

I only recently "discovered" Eugenia Price, during a visit to St. Simons Island, Georgia. I purchased her novel "The Lighthouse" as a souvenir, and became captivated. I have read the entire Savannah Quartet this year, and I highly recommend it. Her ability to weave history with fiction is remarkable. I found myself becoming very involved in the lives of Mark Browning, the McKays and all the other characters (some who lived and some who were "created") in this marvelous series. When I cry for the death of someone, they have become my friend. And so it is with the characters in the four marvelous books, beginning with "Savannah". Their lives, their faith and the history that participated in are captivating.

st simons trilogy

I have read 3 of the Florida Trilogy books, and fell in love with the characters and novel. I also have read Beloved Invader (St Simons trilogy) and cannot say enough in praise for this novel. Ms.Prices' novels should be up there with the very best. I was never an advid reader until I began her Florida Trilogy collection given to me by my sister. Now I am unable to put them down after I start reading. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get or find the continuation of the St.Simon trilogy. Her novels should not be so hard to find. I understand the publisher, for some reason, keeps putting off production.

spellbinding,fell in love with all the characters

I read this book as soon as it became available, now I'm reading it again.Absolutely marvelous, if you like a good serious novel set in south. Everyone should read all Eugenia's books.

Excellent..

Excellent reading material that takes you away and makes you feel as though you actually know the characters within the book. Based around the 1800's in a small town called Savannah, Eugenia's writting style swept me away with character interaction and attention to history details. I felt I was actually there, along with the characters. The attention to detail only proves the author did alot of research, or has a fantastic imagination for detail. I tested portions of this book with a history buff, and found the accounts accurate to the era. I didn't find the book comfortable to read aloud to a disabled person, as some sentences were extraordinarily long, making me wonder just when to take a breath. Overall, I rank this book as exceptional, as I was caught up with the characters. All of the necessary ingrediants are there for a great novel: love, infatuation, honor, mysterious dark family secrets and outcast lovers. I occasionally found myself sneaking a peak at the following chapters just to see what was going to happen next.
