A talented writer who really captures the atmosphere of both the time period and the place.
Of all the Williamson books, I LOVED this one the best! Great writing.
I read Ms. Williamson's book "Wages of Sin" and that was fantastic, so I wanted to read this book. It was not as good as Wages, but it was still good but the text was not always clear. Overall, a great book.
This is four audio cassettes. Approx run time 6 hours. Very intriguing. I enjoyed listening to it.
In New Orleans the past is no decaying memory...It is the sins of your father, mother and their mothers and fathers before them---la famille---that are most remembered, not any blessings bestowed... The year is 1927, a time for bootleg gin, hot jazz, and sudden death. The place is a city that inters its dead above ground but keeps its secrets deeply buried.
