Sparkling romance mixed with well-researched history

This romance novel--almost a saga--remains one of my favorites among historicals written in the 1980s. Ms. Widmer gives her characters authentic "voices", and--even when I know how it'll turn out--this book is a real page-turner for me each time I read it. "Lace Curtain" is a painless way to learn the history of the Irish in New Orleans, while getting caught up in a great story. In my opinion, this novel could stand alone as a history book, or as a romance novel. Lucky for those of us who enjoy history and romance, this book shines in both categories.

Wonderful read

This is a book that everyone should read, especially if you're from New Orleans. It has history for the guys. But I think the gals will really obsess over it more. It so romantic. Widmer really knows how to write. It's too bad the book is not as popular as it should be. Also check out Night Jasmine by Widmer. It's so good, I were assigned to read it for school. New Orleanians, don't miss it.
