Description

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Civil War-era Louisiana, James Lee Burke's Flags on the Bayou is a gripping narrative that explores the complexities of a nation torn apart. As the Union army asserts control over the Mississippi river and the Confederate army retreats towards Texas, a cast of characters - enslaved and free women, plantation gentry, and battle-weary soldiers - become embroiled in a desperate struggle for survival.

When Hannah Laveau, an enslaved woman on the Lufkin plantation, is accused of murder, she sets out on the run with Florence Milton, an abolitionist schoolteacher. As they navigate the treacherous landscape of occupied Louisiana, they must evade the local constable and slavecatchers who seek to reclaim them. Meanwhile, Wade Lufkin, a surgeon haunted by his wartime experiences, finds himself drawn into their world.

This engaging and action-packed tale weaves together themes of love, freedom, and redemption, illuminating a past that continues to shape our present in profound ways.
