From the Inside Flap:
r of A Lesson Before Dying and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Catherine Carmier is a compelling love story set in a deceptively bucolic Louisiana countryside, where blacks, Cajuns, and whites maintain an uneasy coexistence.
After living in San Francisco for ten years, Jackson returns home to his benefactor, Aunt Charlotte. Surrounded by family and old friends, he discovers that his bonds to them have been irreparably rent by his absence. In the midst of his alienation from those around him, he falls in love with Catherine Carmier, setting the stage for conflicts and confrontations which are complex, tortuous, and universal in their implications.

Book Description paperback. 1st edition. San Francisco. 1981. North Point Press. 1st North Point Press Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers with French Flaps. 0865470227. 248 pages. paperback. Cover: Harry Ford. keywords: Literature America African American. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This unforgettable novel by the author of THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITMAN is set in plantation country. After ten years of school in San Francisco, Jackson Guerin returns home to Louisiana, to the arms of his benefactor, Aunt Charlotte. Surrounded by those who love him, family and friends, Jackson discovers himself completely estranged. Bonds have been broken during his absence and the breech is beyond repair. In the midst of this alienation, Jackson falls in love with Catherine Carmier, setting the stage for conflicts and confrontations which are universal, complex, and frighteningly powerful. Set against a deceptively quiet countryside which is beautifully drawn, this varied cast of characters move within a tale of passion, of pride and ancestry and of gripping prejudice between Cajuns, whites, and blacks. CATHERINE CARMIER is a beautiful book, simple, direct, quiet, steadily and unfailingly moving. Its people remain with me, every one of them as individuals, and there is none who does not win my sympathy in his plight and my admiration for his courage and honesty and tenacity. They act with tragic duty and a constant, profound awareness of one another, even across the terrible divisions despair, degree of color, and differences in faith, education and experience have begotten among them.' - Walter Van Tilburg Clark. inventory #32975 Very Good in Wrappers with French Flaps.
