Review: This is one of the best books I have read. It brings Mary and her family to life, you will feel as though you know them. I just returned from a trip to Charleston SC and was able to visit Mary's home, her grave, her pew in St Michael's Church, etc. You will LOVE this book, it is beautifully written for all ages. Young people would enjoy this immensely while obtaining a real understanding of the everyday life of a planter family in 19th century Charleston.

Review: What an unbelievable picture Mr. Cote' paints for readers in "Mary's World". It was one of those books that grabbed my attention and never let go. I was sorry to reach the end, as I was so enthralled with this account of Mrs. Pringles life. Details derived from personal letters, give you an account of her life from a naive & idealistic bride to an older woman, who has endured many changes and hardships. This spring I'll be visiting Charleston South Carolina and I will be anxious to see the home, and visit Gibbes Art gallery to see some of the portraits mentioned in the book. Agreeing with a previous reviewer, I believe this is the best book I've read this year and would highly recommend it to anyone.
