Book Reviews of Feast of All Saints
Book Review: Ann Rice loves history and telling a good story.
Summary: 5 Stars
Race is topic of this story. Antebellum New Orleans is the setting. A city that has profoundly influenced our national culture. Not just its world-altering music, blues and jazz, but a life view that we are still working out.
Ms Rice lays open the soul of New Orleans, shaped by free persons of color and creoles, that captures our imaginations. The colors of her story are a blend of elements - the sacred and the profane, piety and mysticism, all in large portions. You are invited into her city, even better, into a family living and creating the history of its time.
For a broader experience of Ann Rice's love of history and mystery read her "Cry to Heaven" it is spell-binding. BTW for the biography of a creole contemporary of the "Saints" period, check out Louis Moreau Gottschalk on Amazon, a "rock star" of the time.
Summary of 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."
