| 2. | Price, Eugenia Before the Darkness Falls
Jove Books June, 1990 Paperback used; good
Continuing her saga of the three antebellum Georgia families featured in Sa vannah and To See Your Face Again, Price again mixes history and romance fi ction in her facile, highly sentimental style. Natalie and Burke Latimer ex perience the first tragedies of their married life on the north Georgia fro ntier; Natalie's brother Jonathan drops out of Yale to marry halfbreed Cher okee "Indian Mary"; W. H. Stiles goes to Washington as a congressman and la ter, accompanied by Eliza Anne and the children, to Vienna as charge d'affa ires; back in Savannah, the Brownings cope with Natalie's absence and their son's challenge to elite society; and doughty Eliza Mackay's beloved Capta in Jack succumbs to tuberculosis. Meanwhile, the South is moving slowly tow ard secession, although Robert E. Lee, a close friend of the Mackay family, here expounds on the evils of slavery and the necessity of preserving the Union. While all of thecharacters (including children) indulge in the South ern propensity for flowery conversation, the best chapters are those in whi ch politics and the slavery issue are discussed in lively fashion. Like the proverbial spoonful of sugar, Price's solid historical research is unobtru sively laced into the narrative to give readers a good understanding of the state of the nation in the years leading up to the Civil War, where Price will undoubtedly take us in the next volume of the Savannah Quartet.

Bantam March 1, 1992 Paperback used; good
Legions of fans will undoubtedly welcome another warm historical saga from Price ( Stranger in Savannah ). In this first volume of a projected trilogy , she chronicles a passionate (yet decorous) romance, basing her characters on real persons. Anne Couper is celebrating her 18th birthday when the Bri tish capture St. Simon's Island, Ga., during the War of 1812. She and a gro up of her houseguests are held in a far from onerous captivity, and Anne an d handsome Lt. John Fraser of the Royal Marines fall in love. Their courtsh ip and marriage create numerous conflicts. Should John accept Anne's father 's generous offer of a plantation on St. Simon's Island? Can he, the consum mate soldier, regain his commission after the war and rejoin his regiment? The young couple is given counsel and love from a host of agreeable family members and friends, including Anne's distant cousin, a Scottish lord, and his friend author Walter Scott. Anne and John, at times colorless, are far too well bred to display conflict or excitement, yet the book springs to li fe in its descriptions both of the lush landscape of a Georgia plantation a nd the wild, primitive highlands of Scotland.

| 10. | Price, Eugenia Stranger in Savannah(hardcover)
Doubleday Publishing April 12, 1989 Hardcover; w/j hardcover w/dustjacket; good
As the final book of Price's Savannah Quartet opens in 1854, slavery, that venerable Southern institution, is under fire by abolitionists and Northern politicians. The Browning, Mackay and Stiles families, and other familiar characters met in Before the Darkness Falls and previous volumes, wrestle w ith the painful possibility of Southern secession. Mark Browning, a Yankee from Philadelphia, feels like a stranger in his beloved Savannah; he and hi s fiery wife Caroline are at loggerheads, and even their son Jonathan decid es he must fight for the South. Daughter Natalie and her husband Burke are bolstered in their sympathy for the Union by their daughter's love for a bo y who slips past Southern lines to fight for the North. Wise old Eliza Mack ay, a true Southerner, sets polite society on its ear by siding with her go od friend Mark. And while the Stileses--stiff-necked Miss Lib and blusterin g W. H.--initially see only honor in the fight to come, its bloody reality crushes their hopes. Even avid fans may find that endless parlor scenes and flowery, sentimental dialogue make the first half of this over-padded nove l drag, but Price gains momentum, power and passion when she writes of how the Civil War broke the hearts of Rebels and Yankees alike.

| 13. | Price, Eugenia Where Shadows Go (Georgia Trilogy)
St. Martin's Paperbacks July 15, 1996 Paperback used: very good
The second book in the Georgia Trilogy that began with Bright Captivity fol lows the nearly charmed life of John and Anne Couper Fraser from 1825, when the couple leaves London to return to Anne's (and Price's) home on Georgia 's St. Simons Island, to 1839. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the fami ly's coastal plantation, John overcomes his abhorrence of slavery to become a respected planter. He and Anne adore each other, raise their children an d ponder the problems that seem to plague everyone but them. Late in the ta le, friendship with the English actress/abolitionist Fanny Kemble Butler ca uses Anne to consider for the first time the moral implications of her life style. When tragedy finally touches her, faith and the support of her child ren provide Anne with the fortitude to carry on. While Price's simplistic s torytelling skills have sufficed in previous novels, this one disappoints: the characters that really bring it to life, the Butlers, appear too little and too late.
