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.
