Description
Whether in those hands or these, the house had its habits and continued in them; and to this day the neighbors rightly explain its close-sealed, uninhabited look by the all-sufficient statement that the inmates 'is quadroons.'
Set in the mysterious French Quarter of New Orleans during the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Madame Delphine is filled with Creole allure. It tells the story of an old quadroon woman, whose life and home have spiraled downward from their prior state of grandeur.
Colorful characters are introduced throughout the tale. They include Pere Jerome, a rosy and rotund priest; Miche Vignevielle, a kind private banker; and of course, Madame Delphine, the ins and outs of whose life are revealed as the tale progresses. Many issues are eventually brought into question, including the true lineage of Olive, the young maiden being raised as Madame Delphine's daughter.
