Maybe it was the effects of the anesthesia, or maybe it's just not my style of writing, but I'm glad I only paid $0.01 plus postage! I was out of town for the book group discussion, so I don't know how it went over with the rest of the group. La noche de todos los santos está protagonizada por una casta muy peculiar que existió en el estado de Luisiana antes de desencadenarse la guerra de Secesión. Sus miembros eran descendientes de los esclavos, pero llevaban también la sangre de los esclavista franceses y españoles, que tenían por costumbre liberar a los hijos de sus concubinas negras. les llamaban los Negros Libres, aunque vivían apartados de la sociedad blanca y no gozaban de ningún derecho político. Sin embargo, eso no impidió que fuera surgiendo toda una aristocracia entre la que no faltaban artistas exquisitos y gentes de posición desahogada. algunos incluso llegaron a ser dueños de plantaciones. Y la fascinación que sus hermosas mujeres ejercían entre los blancos de Nueva Orleans acabó por convertirse en una leyenda. I hate to bail on yet another title this month, but I'm just not feeling this one. Even just in the first few dozen pages, the flashbacks and ambiguous character references (similar names, unclear antecedents) have made the story incredibly tedious to follow, and I'm just not interested enough to put in the effort of unraveling the threads. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Before the Civil War, there lived in Louisiana, people unique in Southern history. For though they were descended from African slaves, they were also descended from the French and Spanish who enslaved them. In this dazzling historical novel, Anne Rice chronicles four of these so-called Free People of Color--men and women caught periolously between the worlds of master and slave, privilege and oppression, passion and pain. "Anne Rice seems to be at home everywhere....She makes us believe everything she sees." THE NEW YORK TIMES Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Rice showcases her style, full of flourish and drama, and the book is about 100 pages too long, but I found the read rewarding. ( )
