By George W. Cable and George Washington Cable

Book Overview

Caf����� Des Exiles is a novel written by George W. Cable. The story takes place in New Orleans in the late 1800s and follows the lives of a group of exiles and outcasts who gather at a caf����� to share their stories and find solace in each other's company. The main character is Gaston Villere, a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world after being disowned by his family for marrying outside of his social class. He finds refuge at the caf����� and becomes part of a community of misfits, including a former slave, a French artist, and a young woman who is trying to escape an abusive relationship. The novel explores themes of identity, class, race, and the search for belonging. It is a poignant and insightful portrayal of a diverse group of individuals who find connection and support in the face of adversity.""Who knows?"" resumed Galahad, when those who understood English had explained in Spanish to those who did not, ""but they may soon need the services not only of our good doctor heer, but of our society; and that Fernandez and Benigno, and Gonzalez and Dominguez, may not be chosen to see, on that very schooner lying at the Picayune Tier just now, their beloved remains and so forth safely delivered into the hands and lands of their people.
