Infused with \"local color,\" these tales are filled with fascinating characters, idiosyncratic customs, and sometimes shocking details.\u003cbr\u003eReflecting the influences of the French writers Guy de Maupassant and George Sand, \"Lilacs\" is a heartfelt and simple tale of love, life, and devotion. The compelling work is accompanied by 23 other distinctive tales of southern life, among them \"A No-Account Creole\" and \"Love on the Bon-Dieu,\" from \u003ci\u003eBayou Folk,\u003c\/i\u003e and \"A Matter of Prejudice,\" \"The Lilies,\" and \"Dead Men's Shoes\" from \u003ci\u003eA Night in Acadie\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119918170352,"sku":"9780486115351","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486115351_p0.jpg?v=1763708057","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486115351","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
