A riveting first novel, this jambalaya of human passion and deceit
is set in the New Orleans of l953. The story of one man's attempt
to change a culture rooted in generations of Southern white
supremacy, it is a saga of the Old and the New South, of love and
betrayal, terror and escape. Fletcher and Ursula Christian are
glamorous leaders of New Orleans Society. Asked to develop a pilot
program to admit Negro students, Fletcher, a department chair at
prestigious Lemoigne University, accepts the challenge. He hires
the wife of a new faculty member to assist him. When Fletcher's
program is headlined after a press conference, his aristocratic
Southern wife is outraged and secretly mobilizes powerful political
and social forces to block Fletcher's attempt to integrate. Through
a jasmine-heavy summer into the flame-filled fall, Fletcher and
Ursula pursue conflicting goals until a series of devastating
events brings them into a final confrontation, a confrontation
between the future and the past, between two players at odds in a
rich and deep culture.
