Seller's Description:
Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition. Before the Civil War, there lived in Louisiana, people unique in Southern history. For though they were descended from African slaves, they were also descended from the French and Spanish who enslaved them. In this dazzling historical novel, Anne Rice chronicles four of these so-called Free People of Color, men and women caught periolously between the worlds of master and slave, privilege and oppression, passion and pain. "Anne Rice seems to be at home everywhere....She makes us believe everything she sees." THE NEW YORK TIMES.
I have owned three copies of this book and I always try to have one on hand. A far cry from the Vampire Chronicles, this book is about the lives of a New Orleans based family in the 1800's. Anne Rice takes you to the New Orleans of that time- I felt as if I were actually there, and knew the characters personally. Full of exciting drama, this book is definitely worth reading....it will draw you in and make you wish it didn't have to end.
