Opis

In February of 1919, a young Cajun journalist, Teophile Landry, returns from four years as a war correspondent in Europe only to encounter more tragedy at home. Eventually assigned to cover a Louisiana gubernatorial race, a task he assumes will be somewhat mundane compared to covering a war, he discovers a world of political machines, secret societies, racial injustice, prohibition, and jazz. Teo renews his friendship with a young Italian dentist/saxophonist, becomes enamored of a beautiful suffragist from Kansas, and unwittingly helps a young field hand and his family leave plantation life for a fresh start in New Orleans. While traveling from the bayous of Cajun Country to the streets of New Orleans and the plantations of Mississippi, Teo begins his own journalistic journey toward becoming a voice for justice and compassion in the world of lynchings, letter bombs, protests, conspiracy theories, and fear that is 1919 America."
