This is only one of the many revelations in Eugenia Price’s
intimate account of the many months she spent sorting through
voluminous historical research and writing Margaret’s
Story, the third novel in her Florida trilogy. Published as a
companion to the novel, this journal offers a fascinating view of
the author at work as the novel developed week by week. Here, for
the sharing, is her excitement as her story’s characters
emerge–living, breathing “people” who become for the duration
more real to her than those who are part of her day-to-day
existence. Here, too, is her joy on “good” writing days, her
anxiety in times of creative uncertainty, her frustrations at
unavoidable interruptions–and her courage in resisting
discouragement and discomfort (through most of this period she was
plagued with vertigo caused by labyrinthitis). From time to time
she isolated herself in a St. Augustine motel to work undisturbed,
but when at home on St. Simons Island she managed to continue with
the novel and be at the same time a caring friends to everyone who
needed her. In Diary of a Novel the reader will
encounter many of the friends met in St. Simons
Memoir and make, with the author, some new friends as well.
Most of all, this behind-the-scenes narrative will give a new
dimension to the experience of reading the novel Margaret's
Story.
