Description

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Civil War-era Louisiana, Flags on the Bayou is a powerful and moving tale of love, class divisions, and the struggle for freedom.

In the fall of 1863, the Union Army's control of the Mississippi River and much of Louisiana is marked by the presence of the Red Legs, irregulars commanded by a maniacal figure, and enslaved men and women begin to glimpse freedom. Against this complex and treacherous landscape, a cast of characters must navigate their own paths to survival and redemption.

With expertly rendered prose, James Lee Burke brings to life the rich Louisiana landscape, from the sunsets on the Mississippi River to the dingy saloons of New Orleans, and the tree-lined shores of the bayou. A story of tragic acts of war, class divisions upended, and love enduring through it all, Flags on the Bayou is a deeply moving and thought-provoking novel.
