Book Description

Publication Date: 31 Dec 1992

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."

Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars In my opinion, one Anne Rice's best books 5 Sep 2000

By Alice Mogens

Format:Paperback

I found this book years ago, in an out of the way bookstore in Norway, long before I'd ever heard of any of Anne Rice's vampire books. Her style of writing, her character and place descriptions, and the thrilling and surprising twists in the plot, had me turning pages and being drawn into this dark, steamy, imaginary world throughout my summer vacation that year. It also gives a brilliant historic description of New Orleans at that time.

I still value it as one of my favorite books. I started reading the vampire books, but found them completely different from that first encounter with the author - as if they were written by a different person.

This is a beautifully written mystery, love story, historical novel - it has just about everything.

If given a choice of 10 books to take with me on a desert island, "The Feast of All Saints" would be among the top five.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anne Rice's best book 30 Sep 2005

By Zarazilla

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

It is one of her earlier books, and lacking the usual Anne Rice supernaturalism, but also, imho, her best book. It soaks up the atmosphere of a long lost (sadly even now moreso) New Orleans with a bit of a history lesson for those unversed with that uncertain time when slavery was still going on, but the most interesting history lesson I've ever had! You get drawn into the book and it's unlikely beautiful characters. It is a book about growth and compassion and the good and bad sides of people. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow 21 Feb 2004

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This is Anne Rice at her exquisite best, before she drained herself dry churning out bestsellers. The characterisation is superb, the interaction between them is subtle and poignant. She shows such amazing talent for atmospheric writing, it is painful to think how bad she has become: perhaps the biggest literary disappointment of all time!

I still hold out hope that she will stop writing about supernaturalism and go back to what she does best - novel's like this, which ground her obessesions in reality.
