Grau's provocative 1961 book of a New Orleans woman's heartbreaking decision, hailed as "a miserable, wistful, young, amazing report, graced by this writer's finely drawn perceptions." Joan Mitchell has two suitors, and can't make a decision whom to marry. With her mother Aurelie's example at heart, she'd prefer to skip marriage altogether. Joan and Aurelie live alongside one another in a beautiful French Quarter home on Coliseum Neighborhood in New Orleans, along with Joan's many half-sisters born of Aurelie's five disastrous relationships. Joan lives a usually carefree life, however when she becomes pregnant, she decides to get rid of her pregnancy somewhat than marry a guy she doesn't love - a choice with grave implications in conservative 1950s New Orleans. The House on Coliseum Neighborhood is a fearless, heartbreaking love letter to New Orleans, penned by one of the very most acclaimed voices of the American South.
