"In this 1914 work, George Washington Cable, famous for his
literary representations of Creole culture in New Orleans, expounds
on his own garden and what it means to him."
In the "Vieux CarrE" of New Orleans, the last remnant of old Creole
life in the city, Geoffrey Chester, a young lawyer, is struck by
the charm of a Creole beauty whom he daily meets on his way to the
office. It is love at first sight. But because of the exclusivity
of the Creole society to which she belongs, the affair seems
destined to be limited to sight. When a bookseller consults him
about an old manuscript, Chester finds that Aline Chapdelaines is
its owner. The fate of this manuscript and of Chesteris love for
Aline is the theme of a most original romance, in this depiction of
the old rEgime of New Orleans, written with the delicacy and beauty
for which George W. Cable is known.
