At Home on St. Simons

<p>The millions who have read Eugenia Price's novels know that central to each story is a strong deeply-rooted <i>sense of place</i>. In <i>Lighthouse</i> there is New St. Clair; in <i>New Moon Rising</i> there is Black Banks; in <i>The Beloved Invader</i> 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 <i>Maria</i> there is the ancient house in St. Augustine now known as the oldest house; in <i>Don Juan McQueen</i> the St. George Street house; and in <i>Margaret's Story</i> the large white rambling plantation house on the banks of the St. Johns River at Hibernia.)</p>
