Opis

A rich, sultry love story set in the colorful city of New Orleans, a place that drips with atmosphere like Spanish moss in the live oak trees of Louisiana's plantations. Two young women, Martine and Nicole, meet on the streets of Paris where they turn to prostitution in order to survive. They are arrested and are starving to death in prison. Mere hours before the grim reaper appears to claim them, they learn that the government can no longer afford to feed them, so all the imprisoned prostitutes are being released. Martine and Nicole learn that an American woman has requested the French government send both of them to America. They are consigned to Madame Cecile, who owns the finest bordello in New Orleans and from the moment they arrive, their lives change forever. Experience New Orleans history and culture of the late 1880s...bordellos, voodoo queens, plantation life, yellow fever epidemics, and the cities of the dead-the famed above-ground crypts in the local cemeteries.
