Great Idea - Used Books

I ordered this book from the "Used Book" section. What a great idea. The book was received quickly, was in reasonably good condition, and I loved reading it.....without paying a huge price for it.

good escape

Her characters are just a little too good to be true but the reading is good for a quick no thought escape. I enjoy historical, fact based novels and though these are almost too sweet they do offer real history.

Honest Portrayal

As an avid reader of books centered on the Civil War, I found this book to be an excellent portrayal of the trials and tribulations of a country divided. Eugenia Price not only tells a deep, involved story, but she also presents the facts behind the Civil War from the perspectives of rebels, unionists, and southern union sympathizers. Every perspective is explored in this book. Ms. Price also uses real people in her books which makes them that much more interesting. She writes her story from actual letters that were exchanged by some of the people in the book like General Lee, Mary Custis, W.H. Stiles, and Eliza McQueen Mackay. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who loves stories of the Old South, The Civil War, or just a good old-fashioned love story. This book will not let you down!

Memorable!

This is my all-time favorite novel by Eugenia Price. A STRANGER IN SAVANNAH should be considered her masterpiece. Although I find the dialogue long-winded, it is an excellent, in-depth account of how the war and its causes nearly drove loving friends and families apart. Especially tragic is Jonathan Browning's embrace of the Southern Cause and how it affected his marriage.
