Gone With the Wind, with a French twist

Lots of passion, about a New Orleans cotton plantation set in the years circa 1830 thru the Civil War. The author was a French correspondent in New Orleans, and his fascination with the city and its people are evident. Puportedly a "true" story, but I suspect fictional liberties. It's not world-class literature, but a good, readable story with strong characters and a sense of time & place.
