Out of the Easy
Author: Ruta Sepetys
Genre: Historical Fiction
Out of the Easy is set against the vivid backdrop of 1950s new Orleans.
Josie Moraine wants out of The Big Easy - she needs more than what New Orleans cam offer. know locally as a brothel prostitute's daughter, she dreams of life at an elite college, far away from here.
But then a mysterious death in the Quarter leaves Josie caught between her ambition and a clandestine underworld. New Orleans is luring Josie deeper in as she searches for the truth, and temptation beckons at every turn.
This novel is definitely not for people who can't handle mature topics such as brothels, prostitution and vulgar language. The author hooks you in from the beginning with the fact that Josie was only seven years old when her mother went to the brothel. I enjoy Ruta Sepetys' novels because they are beautifully written, descriptive, accurate and overall just great. I give it a 10/10.
