Another great novel of the bigotry in Louisianas Cajun parishes, this might be subtitled You Should Not Go Home Again. Intolerance is not limited to whites against blacks; in his world it is near white against mulatto against black, and Cajun against all. Here are star-crossed lovers to rival Shakespeare; doomed to separation; torn by loyalty to family.
