Description
George W. Cable's 1901 novel is set in Louisiana during the American Civil War. Its opening chapters introduce a young woman who wanted to laugh, a Lieutenant Ferry, and a household living under the strain of war, with rations short and strangers arriving.
Cable, best known for his Louisiana stories, mixes romance with the confusion of occupied country: names mistaken, loyalties tested, and danger close at hand. The novel gives readers a southern, civilian view of the war, told with local color, humor, and a light, ironic touch throughout every chapter.
