Good Sequel

This book is the sequel to "Bright Captivity", which began the saga of Anne Couper Fraser, her marriage to John Fraser of England, and her years spent in London. This books opens with the return of the Frasers to St. Simons Island. If you are have read other Eugenia Price books, you will be re-acquainted with the McKays of Savannah, the Goulds of St. Simons and others. The Coupers were one of the noble families of the Georgia Coast in the mid-1800's. Anne's life is one of great love and great sorrow. I came to love her as a sister throughout the trilogy. Sometimes I wanted to shake her -- mostly I wanted to sit and have a long talk. You will also enjoy her relationship with her "Eve", whose devotion to Anne is complete. I highly recommend this book, and the entire Georgia Trilogy, to fans of Eugenia Price and anyone else who enjoys fiction based on real-life people from our past. I hated for the third book to end.

Dealing with death

Without realizing the focus of the book, I found the beginning a bit depressing. Eugenia Price, though, showed the mercy of God toward those who mourn. Anne Couper Fraser is prepared through the grief of others to face her own personal tragedy. She grows in selflessness as the book progresses, gaining strength from God and learning to comfort others. Excellant read on the whole with information divulged through dialog, not lengthy thought sessions.

I loved it!

I found the love between Anne and John to be a thing of beauty and maybe something we don't know much about now-a-days. Devoted love that puts the other person first is not emphasized much in our new modern age! I would like to have seen John's struggle with slavery and/or the military come to some resolution but the scene of his death left me in tears. It reminded me to appreciate my own family members while they are here. I would have no problem at all recommending this book to anyone looking for a nice long novel to cuddle into a comfy chair with. Thanks Eugenia Price!
