Polan Banks

4.9/5 (27500 ratings)

Description:The setting is glamorous New Orleans, in the flamboyant 1890's; but this powerful story of a jilted woman's vengeance upon the man she loved-which leads up to a climax as poignant and unexpected as it is tragic and inevitable-is intrinsically as modern as today's tabloid headlines.Beautiful, complex Barbara Beaurevel, daughter of a proud Creole family-who was born to enter life always by the carriage entrance-was the secret granddaughter of a notorious Basin Street "madame"-which knowledge gave her the inhibitions that nearly destroyed her chance for happiness.Doctor Quentin Cushing, the Yankee scientist who knew all about tropical medicine and not a little about women-who thought his fiancee frigid, and was trapped into an unworthy marriage-almost wrecked a brilliant career.Corinne, his wife-the generously-sexed young woman from Yonkers whose Mauve Decade gods were the Four Hundred-was willing to exchange her limited integrity for the satisfaction of her social ambitions.Barbara's cousin, handsome Paul Beaurevel, unscrupulous and decadent, was only too agreeable toward helping both women attain their secret ends.Aunt Eulalie Beaurevel-frosty, frustrated, and tradition-steeped-was ready to sacrifice another's reputation upon the Creole altar of outward appearances.Together, this oddly-assorted, skillfully-etched quintet, so fatefully enmeshed in one another's lives, participate in a drama that will hold the reader to the last tense page.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
