Synopsis
Step into the perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous brothel in American history. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, this audiobook presents a vivid snapshot of Americas journey from Victorian-era propriety to 20th-century modernity.
Reviews
An interesting piece of American history. I imagine that if there were a book on the famous, or perhaps infamous, Storyville neighborhood in New Orleans it would be as absorbing as this book.
