Crème Anglaise

By Hermenegilde Katz

What would North America be like if the French, not the English, had won the French and Indian War of 1754-63? Well, we'd speak and eat French, for starters. This humorous steampunk adventure novel, set against the background of alternate history, begins in the Upper Peninsula Reservation for the Exiled English who scrape by on pasties, berries, and hooch, while facing wolves, polar bears, and unending winters. An English boy named Helsinki, born together with his two identical brothers in peculiar circumstances, displays a culinary talent that takes him to La Baie Verte, an opulent capital of the French duchy of Ouisconsin, renowned for its white marble palaces, elegant plazas, and romantic canals. There, while he is busy mastering his art, a vampiric intrigue is hatched in the city's salons. The rest is bloodshed, a love affair in tropical gardens of Cuba, more fabulous food, and the end of the world as we know it...
