À propos de cet audio

The House of Erzulie tells the eerily intertwined stories of an ill-fated young couple in the 1850s and the troubled historian who discovers their writings in the present day.

Emilie St. Ange, daughter of a Creole slaveowning family in Louisiana, rebels against her parents by embracing spiritualism and advocating the abolition of slavery. Isidore, her biracial, French-born husband, is horrified by the brutalities of plantation life and becomes unhinged by an obsessive affair with a notorious New Orleans vodou practitioner.

Emilie's and Isidore's letters and journals are interspersed with sections narrated by Lydia Mueller, an architectural historian whose fragile mental health further deteriorates as she reads.

Imbued with a sense of the uncanny and the surreal, The House of Erzulie also alludes to the very real horrors of slavery as it draws on the long tradition of the African-American Gothic novel.

Some good and more bad

The author seems to be confused as to what type of book they want to write which affects the enjoyment of reading this book.

This book is part fantasy, part historical, part mystery, part drama, part psychological study and contains a whole lot of unnecessary, very graphic nearly pornographic erotica that only serves as an extremely annoying distraction from what was actually an overall good story.

The lives of the characters, both past and present, were very interesting and were sufficient in themselves without the over-the-top erotic elements.

Other than the story, the person who read the audiobook had a really annoying habit of using a singsong style of talking whenever she read Lydia’s portion.
