A prosperous New Orleans family, led by Honore Grandissime, is
faced with a moral and financial dilemma that could threaten the
livelihood of future generations. The old guard is confronted by
new thinkers, opposing their way of life and actively seeking
change. Honore Grandissime is the patriarch of a French Creole
family consisting of a half-brother, who is mixed race, and an
uncle who is white. When a young man named Joseph Frowenfeld visits
the Grandissimes, his abolitionist views cause friction among the
elders. The uncle sees slavery as a necessity that allows them to
maintain a comfortable lifestyle. In the heightened political
climate, this conflict forces personal relationships and alliances
to come to ahead. The Grandissimes: A Story of Creole Life gives an
authentic look at the complex history of the American South. It
highlights the insidiousness of the caste system and its impact on
mixed-race families. The author details its destructive nature and
lasting impact. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of The Grandissimes: A Story of
Creole Life is both modern and readable.
