Ripley wrote a 2-part saga tracing several of Charleston societies oldest families, and following them through about 70 years of history, overlapping the Civil War... both novels were excellent, written very, very well.

I read this as a teenager, and it made such an impresion that I still recall the names of the streets, architecture, and neighborhoods in Charleston. A good, easy historical read.

Alexandra Ripley writes historical fiction. I am always attracted to that. Her books are easy to get lost in. Nice escape with a history lesson attached.

Another one that I remember nothing about except that I really liked it at the time, "the time" being high school or maybe even junior high.

I was very interested in the characters and the depiction of post-war Charleston. Couldn't put it down.
