Popular New Orleans author of the 1940s and 50s
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Frances Parkinson Keyes was a popular author of the 1940s and 50s. She was married to a man who served in the U.S. Senate and became governor of New Hampshire. She did much of her writing in New Orleans, Louisiana, in a Victorian mansion previously owned by a confederate general. Beauregard House is now a museum. Keye wrote meticulously researched historical novels, many of them with a Catholic slant. Her 1957 novel, _Blue Camellia_, tells the story of the development of south Louisiana from swampland to productive rice farms.
All time favorite

I read this book years ago and loved it! It's one of my all-time favorite novels. It's a story about a woman who is loved by two brothers and how the choices they each make drastically affects the others. I can still see the last scenes of the story in my mind. I definitely recommend it.
