This book rings so true to the culture of New Orleans. Some years ago I remember seeing mob boss Carlos Marcello sitting at the head of a long dining table in Commander's Palace, with his "family" members seated down both sides of the table, having lunch together. At another table, there was an author being interviewed about her recent romance novel set in New Orleans. Across the street from the restaurant was one of the city's famous cemeteries. The city itself is one of the main characters in this wonderful novel. I was transported back there by the author's vivid storytelling -- the sights, sounds, smells -- and the thoughts and feelings of the people who inhabit that city. If I didn't know better, I'd think the author actually grew up in New Orleans!
