Synopsis
Anne Rice weaves another tale set in Antebellum New Orleans, pre-Civil war. The Feast of All Saints tells of the free people of color, gens de couleur libres , mixed-race indiviaduals who made up their own society between the white population and the slaves of southern Louisiana. This tale concerns Marcel and his family, his friends, and his lovers - each a complex relationship. This book is best read over time, with wine and a sense of luxury.

The game is afoot!
I focus on modern first edition, first printings, but have been lately finding first editions, later printings of older novels in my inventory. I'm also highlighting a lot of signed books that I've found.
I will also gladly search for and offer well-priced books of all kinds. If there's something you'd love to have, either send me a message here or go to https://cases.sherlockjoes.com and Open a Case!
