Victorine Francis parkinson keyes 9780671808983 Books Reviews

Gold Slippers is a sequel to "Blue Camelia" ,written in 1958 and set in Louisiana in the period between the world wars.To families of wealth and influence,life was kinder than it was to struggling farm families even though much effort was demanded of the sons in building rice empires,rice having been developed only comparatively recently in the South.Prosper Vilac is the scion of just such a family-hardworking in the family business but falls for a dance hall singer,Titine,who is out to use him to further her own ends.After a one night stand with Titine, Prosper becomes engaged to marry Victorine,a very suitable girl and one that his family approves of.Titine's body is discovered in Prospers rice mill and an investigation is set up to discover her killer.This is an old-fashioned book by todays standards,and proceeds at a leisurely pace,but Miss Keye's books have the charm of former days and I found it fascinating to revisit some of the Louisianan towns which I visited in person just a few months ago.
Victorine by Frances Parkinson Keyes

The sequel to Blue Camelia, Victorine, is set in Louisiana during the 1st and 2nd World Wars.

When Prosper Villac a rice miller, bought a pair of Gold Slippers for Titine, a singer in a night club, he could neither have foreseen her murder nor that he would become a suspect. On the verge of his engagement to Victorine, whose grandfather brought her to his house in Louisiana after many years in Europe, Prosper curses himself for his brief involvement with Titine.

Victorine ends with a satisfying twist in the tale which takes the reader by surprise.

Parkinson Keyes novels always sweep me back into the past with their vibrant characters and the interesting descriptions of the Southern States in the U.S.A in times gone by.

Re-reading Victorine after many years has inspired me to re-read Parkinson Keyes other novels, including old favourites such as The River Road and Larry Vincent.
You have to marvel at the author 's ego and uber dramatic style. I read her works more for her flamboyant personality that jumps from her writings. I would have loved to meet her, but doubt that she would give the time of day to me, the dreary and boring mundane,
No complaints at all from me on the timely delivery of this book. I will re-read it again, after 40 or more years of thinking about it. Great shape, excellent dust jacket and I am pleased overall. Thanks.
