Description

In the vibrant and mysterious French Quarter of New Orleans, before the Civil War, a unique community thrived. The Gens de Couleur, Free People of Colour, lived between two worlds - neither fully black nor white. Among them was Michael, an artist with a wild spirit, who dreamed of Paris and the art of Daguerreotype. His sister Marie longed for love in a world that valued beauty above all else. In this richly atmospheric novel, Anne Rice weaves a tale of exotic colour and sensuous atmosphere, set against the backdrop of 19th-century New Orleans. With her characteristic skill, she explores themes of identity, desire, and the complexities of human relationships. The result is a captivating story that transports readers to a bygone era, full of vivid characters and sensual detail.
