Crescent City By Belva Plain A historical love story in New Orleans
Miriam defies 1840s norms seeking mental independence while facing slavery, abolitionist David, a Northern medical student, and a divided family amid war. The tale blends race, culture, and passion with vivid New Orleans history and a compelling heroine. Belva Plain’s fourth novel earns praise for its historical detail and memorable Miriam.
