En 1941, Helen Bynum deja su hogar familiar por primera vez y se dirige al Barrio Francés de Nueva Orleans, donde se reúne con su tía, una actriz cuyos encantos se han visto dañados por el alcohol y una vida disoluta. Allí descubre la vida en su faceta más apasionada y aventurera. Enfrentada a realidades y dilemas hasta entonces insospechados, experimenta el deseo y el amor, la amistad y sus contratiempos, en compañía de sus amigos, intelectuales bohemios. Su mundo se mezcla con el misterio sofocante de una ciudad cuya sensualidad se magnifica aquí. Con inteligencia y humor, Paula Fox ofrece una mirada distante, a la vez cruel y desarmante, sobre las apariencias de la pequeña burguesía y las hipocresías de la América de posguerra.
Paula Fox was an American author of novels for adults and children and of two memoirs. Fox won the Newbery Medal in 1974 for her novel The Slave Dancer. She also won the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1978 and won a 1983 National Book Award in category Children's Fiction (paperback) for A Place Apart. In the mid-1990s, she enjoyed a revival as her adult fiction was championed by a new generation of American writers. In 2011, she was inducted into the New York State Writers Hall of Fame.
