Out of the Easy is set against the vivid backdrop of 1950s New
Orleans. Written by New York Times bestselling author Ruth Sepetys,
this novel has something for everyone: love, mystery, murder,
blackmail and warmth. Josie Moraine wants out of The Big Easy - she
needs more than New Orleans can offer. Known locally as a brothel
prostitute's daughter, she dreams of life at an elite college, far
away from here. But then a mysterious death in the Quarter leaves
Josie caught between her ambition and a clandestine underworld. New
Orleans is luring Josie deeper in as she searches for the truth,
and temptation beckons at every turn. Praise for Between Shades of
Gray: 'This superlative first novel by Ruta Sepetys demonstrates
the strength of its unembellished language. A hefty emotional
punch' - The New York Times '. . . moving and heart-wrenching.' -
The Guardian Ruta Sepetys was born and raised in Michigan and now
lives with her family in Tennessee. Her first novel, Between Shades
of Gray, was shortlisted for the 2012 Carnegie Medal and the
Waterstones Children's Book Award.
