StoryvilleTHE WASHINGTON POST calls Lois Battle "a born storyteller". Her novel STORYVILLE describes a ragtime city within a city--the largest, most notorious, and only legal red-light district in the U.S.--where hard cash bought the softest goods. "The novel's atmosphere is redolent of honeysuckle and jasmine, cafe brulot and cinnamon buns".--NEWSDAY. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved. |
