5.0 out of 5 stars Capture of the Heart and Soul, Oct 20 2001
By Carole D. Forrester "forr200" (Taylors, S.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was great. It is one you will not want to put down. I became so involved in the story that I read the book in two days. In all the books I have read by Ms. Price she has captured my heart and soul. You feel as if you are right there with the characters in the book. Each new adventure in the book seems to draw the reader in. Now that I have read all the St. Simon Trilogy my yearly visits there will never be the same. Thanks to Ms. Price I will look more carefully at her beloved island and enjoy it more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bittersweet, Jul 20 2000
By Christy J. Brennan (Brandon, VT USA) - See all my reviews
You're probably wondering who the Beloved Invader is, right? The title really is the whole book, in general. Anson Dodge is a Northerner visiting the Civil-War torn South. God sort of leads him to St. Simons Island through different events. There, he falls in love with the people of this island and makes a home for himself. The people think of him as an invader, I suppose. He has to win their affection and acceptance, but he wins it completely in the end. He devotes his life to the people, his dreams, and to God. This is a poignant love story. It's a very sad story though--about cruelty, love, endurance, faith, and sacrifice. I usually go for the happy ending love stories, but this is one of the exceptions for me. It's a must-read book. Of course, if you read it, you should read the others in the series (New Moon Rising and Lighthouse). It's one of those books you don't often come back to--but if you don't read it you're really missing something. I believe, that as Price wrote this, it came straight from the heart. That's what makes it so special. It went straight to my heart. There are actually three love stories in this book. One between Anson and the people of the island (and his ministry), one between he and his first wife, and one with his second wife. I really can't tell you much else about the plot of the book. I don't want to spoil it for you. But buy this book and the other two as well. They are excellant reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty, Feb 19 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beloved Invader (Paperback)
Eugenia Price's imagination of this novel began with her discovery of St. Simons Island and specifically, Christ Church, once the parish home of Anson Dodge. When Price discovered the story behind Dodge's life - that he had been married twice and that his first wife had originally been buried under the pulpit in Christ Church - The Beloved Invader was born. The novel is Anson's story and has much to do with his stumbling upon this island in Georgia and dedicating himself to the post war reconstruction of its beautiful chapel. It is a very tender story of a man who's pretty flawed for a Price book (making him more real) and the two extremely different women who became his wives. This book is especially recommended for young people - little love story packed in with historical detail. Most fun to read the book and then go to St Simons and see all that was described.
