The Feast Of All Saints
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
