Synopsis
A historical novel, "The Feast of All Saints" describes the lives of the Ferronaire family, people of color in 19th-century New Orleans, some of whom can pass for white. They live in the post-Civil War South, but because of racism the Ferronaires remain outside of any social milieu.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: ""One morning in New Orleans, in that part of the Rue Ste. Anne before it crosses Conde and becomes the lower boundary of the Place D'Armes, a young boy who had been running full tilt down the middle of the street stopped suddenly, his chest heaving, and began to deliberately and obviously follow a tall woman.""
Industry Reviews

Chicago Tribune Books - Penelope Mesic
"[T]his new book is rare, combining a 'real story,' a profound theme and exquisite literary grace."
