At Home on St. Simons

Eugenia Price

No reviews yet Write a Review
The millions who have read Eugenia Price's novels know that central to each story is a strong, deeply-rooted sense of place. In Lighthouse, there is New St. Clair; in New Moon Rising, there is Black Banks; in The Beloved Invader, there is Christ Church and the spacious house Anson Dodge built for the bride who never lived in it all of these places are familiar to Price readers who fall in love with her Island settings whether they see and visit them or not. (The same is true of her Florida trilogy. In Maria, there is the ancient house in St. Augustine, now known as the oldest house; in Don Juan McQueen, the St. George Street house; and in Margaret's Story, the large, white rambling plantation house on the banks of the St. Johns River at Hibernia.)

Description  

Here, for the first time outside the pages of a small Island newspaper calledGeorgia's Coastal Illustrated, Eugenia shares with her worldwide reading public, some of what life was like during the first years in which she and her best friend and fellow writer, Joyce Blackburn, were becoming Islanders.

"These short pieces," Genie says, "include my observations day by day of what it was like, at last, to beat home on St. Simons. We were learning how to be neighbors, after so many years of complex life in the huge northern city of Chicago; learning how to care deeply for people with whom, at first glance, we had little in common. We were understanding what it really meant to havecome home."

Eugenia Price, called by many St. Simons' own "beloved invader," tells you here about those early years as they were being lived. HerSt. Simons Memoir, cherished by thousands, was written from memory and notes in old desk calendars, butAt Home on St. Simonsilluminates some of the experiences which most changed her-as they occurred.

More than fourteen million people have read Eugenia Price's books which have been translated into fifteen languages. Much of the magic these millions remember so vividly years after the reading, began in the simple, sad, joyous, and absorbing events related to this singular volume.

Never before published is a brand new opening chapter, in which Ms. Price attempts to explain-almost as to herself-why, in the face of such drastic change on the once provincial little coastal island, she is stillat home on St. Simons. Her readers do not have to see the Island firsthand, to recognize their own response to her sense of place.
