4.0 out of 5 stars what a woman is described here, February 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Maria (Mass Market Paperback)

A very ambitious story in that it tackles a sticky, sort of unknown time in history - 1700's Florida back when it was a ping-pong game between England and Spain over who ruled the territory. That's not the interesting part though. The best part of this book is the character of Maria, or Mary, once the resident of what is now known as St. Augustine's Oldest House. Maria is an intelligent, resourceful, very beautiful woman who is very far ahead of her time. She comes through tragic loss and grief but somehow (you often wonder how) she is back up again, alive and battering life's doors once more. Read the book to know her if nothing else. A few love stories are intertwined as well. Well worth it. The first Price book I ever read and today I've read nearly all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maria, June 7, 2000

Melinda S. Kelley (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maria (Florida Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

I couldn't put this book down. After visiting St. Augustine, then reading the book, I was truly walking the streets with Maria. I saw the same building she did and have the same awe for the town as she did. I read this book in two day...I couldn't put it down. Looking for the other two books in the trilogy. Can someone help.

5.0 out of 5 stars A master storyteller., September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Maria (Florida Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

Eugenia Price combined her outstanding writing skills with meticulous research and attention to detail. This was my first introduction to her work -- no one can surpass her mastery of historical fiction. Her work helped me to introduce History as a living thing to my own children.

An excellent book for a person intrested in the history of St. Augustine and the surrounding area. Also, somewhat sad in places, but nonetheless, very good reading.
