Book Review of Catherine Carmier (Vintage Contemporaries)

Another great novel of the bigotry in Louisianas Cajun parishes, this might be subtitled You Should Not Go Home Again. Intolerance is not limited to whites against blacks; in his world it is near white against mulatto against black, and Cajun against all. Here are star-crossed lovers to rival Shakespeare; doomed to separation; torn by loyalty to family.
