What a book! I haven‘t read Anne Rice in a very long time. Her descriptions of the cities and towns her story takes place in are in point. Such a poet! And who doesn‘t love a good ghost story? This book was published in 1997, what have I been waiting for? Anna is the reason that I had to visit New Orleans and walk thru the Garden District. I saw one of her homes. Now I feel I have to see Rio. Her stories pull me to the locations she writes about.
