Review
"One of my favorite cities in America is New Orleans, so naturally I looked forward
to reading Richard Sherman’s Return to Mardi Gras. It tells the story of the
wild Mardi Gras, but also tells the story of a love affair between a young attorney who
leaves his family to take up with a beautiful, even younger court reporter. Set in the
1970's, this first novel is rich in the lore of Mardi Gras, a former era, and the ancient
tug and pull of the heart. It is a distinguished debut." Bookviews.
