A provocative novel of a New Orleans woman's heartbreaking decision, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
The Keepers of the House.
Joan Mitchell has two suitors, and can't decide whom to marry. A witness to her mother Aurelie's less than successful romantic history, she'd like to skip marriage altogether. Joan and Aurelie live together in a beautiful French Quarter home on Coliseum Street in New Orleans, along with Joan's many half-sisters born of Aurelie's five disastrous marriages.
Joan lives a mostly carefree life, but when she becomes pregnant, she chooses to end her pregnancy rather than marry a man she doesn't love-a decision with grave consequences in conservative 1950s New Orleans.
The second novel by a National Book Award finalist and one of the most acclaimed voices of the American South,
The House on Coliseum Street is a brave, heartbreaking love letter to New Orleans and "a sad, wistful, young, timeless story, graced by [Shirley Ann Grau's] fine drawn perceptions... and by the still, soft enchantment of her prose" (
Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Shirley Ann Grau, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
