Description
"In a word, we are our past. We do not cling to it, it clings to us." --Grace King, Memories of a Southern Woman of Letters "Among southern writers of her time she was one of the few who achieved excellence in both history and fiction; in her work the one strongly reinforces the other." --Robert Bush, editor of Grace King of New Orleans In this enchanting memoir of life in New Orleans from the Civil War to the Great Depression, Grace King records the crises and changes in Crescent City society, as well as her own development as a writer. Here is a portrait of a woman who went through war and its aftermath and later assumed the role of independent woman and breadwinner. As a female pursuing an intellectual career, she broke with the Old South tradition, but as is well chronicled, her major projects, literary and personal, had to do with defending the South.
