A Novel of New Orleans

By: Rosalyn Story

Narrated by: Brad Sanders

When Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, chef and widower Simon Fortier knows how he plans to face the storm - riding it out inside his long-time home in the city's Treme neighborhood, just as he has through so many storms before. But when the levees break and the city is torn apart, Simon disappears. His son Julian a celebrated jazz trumpeter, rushes home to a New Orleans he left years before to search for his father. As Julian crisscrosses the city, fearing the worst, he reconnects with Sylvia, Simon's companion of many years; Parmenter, his father's erstwhile business partner and one of the most successful restaurateurs in New Orleans; and Velmyra, the woman Julian left behind when he moved to New York. Julian's search for Simon deepens as he finds himself drawn into the troubled history of Silver Creek, the extravagantly beautiful piece of land where his father grew up, and closer once again to Velmyra.

As he tries to come to grips with his father's likely fate, Julian slowly gains a deeper, richer understanding of his father and the city he loved so much, while unraveling the mysteries of Silver Creek.

Powerful and awesome

I visited New Orleans in 2010. It’s been in my heart every sense. I love this story so very very much! I could hardly put it now. I wish there was some sequel to it.

Good storyline, audio volume a rollercoaster

Nice retelling of the heartache post Katrina. Narrator was good but editing left a lot to be desired. Someone in post production really missed the mark. Had to constantly adjust volume throughout. Good character development and satisfying conclusion.

5 stars
