Interesting novel about Louisiana's culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I have not read this book yet. I do know much about the author and have enjoyed many of her books about her time in Louisiana. I am a native New Orleanian now living in Baton Rouge. I have a desire to collect as many of her books as possible. Now I am reading "Dinner at Antoinne's" by Frances P. Keyes. I am sure it is as good a read as this one.

A 1952 novel by one of the best historical novelists
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
"Steamboat Gothic" is a term for the style of architecture ". . . which was inspired by the floating palaces that plied the Mississippi River during its Golden Age." From the book's forward by the author. Though the tale of a riverman and his family, there is little actual river in the book. There is, however, lots of accurate "period" in the book. As you would expect from F.P.K., it is a good read.
