Negative Positive
Title: From the first page, I was hooked.
Review: The colorful life of "landlady" Norma Wallace is laid out here in great detail -- her thoughts, shortcomings and enviable business sense, and the obsession with the beauty of youth that eventually becomes her downfall. Novelist Christine Wiltz has meticulously researched her subject, so readers not only come away with a full understanding about New Orleans' last real madam, they also get a real feel of the N'awlins of the early to mid 20th century. A great read before or during a trip to the Big Easy -- and an equally great read even if you've never set foot in the Crescent City.
