Description
The Feast of All Saints by Anne Rice (1986, MMPB) Historical Fiction New Orleans. Anne Rice steps beyond the gothic supernatural in The Feast of All Saints, a sweeping historical novel first published in 1979. Set in 19th-century New Orleans, the story explores the lives, struggles, and triumphs of the “gens de couleur libres” — the free people of color navigating a society defined by race, class, and tradition. Rice blends meticulous historical detail with her trademark storytelling, crafting a narrative of ambition, forbidden love, and survival. This 1986 Ballantine Books mass market paperback is a vintage reading copy, perfect for both Rice collectors and fans of immersive historical fiction. The novel’s cultural and social themes remain relevant today, and its later adaptation into a Showtime miniseries brought new attention to this side of Rice’s work. About the Author Anne Rice (1941–2021) is internationally known for The Vampire Chronicles but also authored historical and erotic fiction under her own name and pseudonyms. The Feast of All Saints is one of her most acclaimed non-supernatural works, showing her breadth as a novelist and historian of human drama. Condition Good. Cover shows wear and rubbing, spine is creased but intact, pages are age-toned from time. Binding is solid and the text is clean with no missing sections.
