Product Information

EDGAR AWARD WINNER FOR BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR From New York Times -bestselling author James Lee Burke comes a novel set in Civil War-era Louisiana as the South transforms and a brilliant cast of characters - enslaved and free women, plantation gentry, and battle-weary Confederate and Union soldiers - are caught in the maelstrom In the fall of 1863, the Union army is in control of the Mississippi river. Much of Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is occupied. The Confederate army is retreating toward Texas, and being replaced by Red Legs, irregulars commanded by a maniacal figure, and enslaved men and women are beginning to glimpse freedom. When Hannah Laveau, an enslaved woman working on the Lufkin plantation, is accused of murder, she goes on the run with Florence Milton, an abolitionist schoolteacher, dodging the local constable and the slavecatchers that prowl the bayous. Wade Lufkin, haunted by what he observed--and did--as a surgeon on the battlefield, has returned to his uncle's plantation to convalesce, where he becomes enraptured by Hannah. Flags on the Bayou is an engaging, action-packed narrative that includes a duel that ends in disaster, a brutal encounter with the local Union commander, repeated skirmishes with Confederate irregulars led by a diseased and probably deranged colonel, and a powerful story of love blossoming between an unlikely pair. As the story unfolds, it illuminates a past that reflects our present in sharp relief. James Lee Burke, whose "evocative prose remains a thing of reliably fierce wonder" ( Entertainment Weekly ), expertly renders the rich Louisiana landscape, from the sunsets on the Mississippi River to the dingy saloons of New Orleans to the tree-lined shores of the bayou and the cottonmouth snakes that dwell in its depths. Powerful and deeply moving, Flags on the Bayou is a story of tragic acts of war, class divisions upended, and love enduring through it all.

Reviews
Praise for Flags on the Bayou: "[An] outstanding thriller.... Burke stitches plot threads andhistorical details with ease, weaving it all into an urgent, propulsive storysteeped in his deep personal connections to Louisiana. This is masterful." - PublishersWeekly (starred review) "TheCivil War comes to New Iberia, Louisiana, the capital of Burke's wondrousfictional empire... [readers] may well agree that it's his most probingexamination of the enduring legacy of slavery... A grueling, compassionatedemonstration that 'the devil ain't down in a fiery pit. He's right here.'" - Kirkus (starred review) "Aremarkable, beautiful, edgy, and haunting novel". - Booklist "A stunning work. Man's addiction to darkness and evilis on horrific display, yet love's fierce light shines through the poorest ofsouls. With a belief in God's grace and redemption, they demand the courage toseek it, against all odds. Often I had to reread a sentence or paragraph,smiling and shaking my head at the power of words assembled that evokeemotional landslides no one creates like James Lee Burke. Get this now. Itwill take you apart and heal you. Lord, what a magnificent book!" - Nils Lofgren, Member of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame withBruce Springsteen's E Street Band and Member of Neil Young's Crazy Horse Band "No one can word-sketch an eerily beautiful scene quite likethe living legend James Lee Burke, whether he's describing bloodredbougainvillea dripping off ironwork in New Orleans or fog shrouding theMississippi. In his latest novel, Flags on the Bayou (AtlanticMonthly Press), Civil War-era Louisiana provides the turbulent backdrop for amurder accusation, skirmishes, blossoming love, and the specter of a storm overthe Gulf." - Garden & Gun Praise for James Lee Burke: "James Lee Burke is the reigning champ of nostalgia noir." - New York Times Book Review "You can always count on Burke to deliver a white-hotpage-turner." -- AARP Magazine "Burke's evocative prose remains athing of reliably fierce wonder." -- Entertainment Weekly "One of the finest novelists in North America." --MargaretCannon, Globe and Mail "James Lee Burke is one of a small handful of elite suspensewriters whose work transcends the genre, making the leap into capital-LLiterature." -- Bookpage, Praise for Flags on the Bayou: "An important book, written with great passion, greatinsight, and James Lee Burke's incisive prose." - Sara Paretsky "[An] outstanding thriller....

With Flags on the Bayou , he doesn'tback down from the horrors of American history, but brings to life those whoperpetuated unspeakable evil and those who fought nobly against it, remindingus all that while the horrors may endure, so does the potential for grace,beauty, and redemption." - MichaelKoryta, New York Times bestselling author "No one can word-sketch an eerily beautiful scene quite likethe living legend James Lee Burke, whether he's describing bloodredbougainvillea dripping off ironwork in New Orleans or fog shrouding theMississippi.
