Shirley Ann Grau
Shirley Ann Grau is a major American author whose works are often set in New Orleans and Louisiana's Creole region. She often reflects the isolated bayous and their French-speaking residents, but her fiction is equally at home with the fiercely independent people of small Southern towns or the sophisticated life of the New Orleans' upper class. The Keepers of the House won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1965.

Critic reviews
- Pulitzer Prize Winner, Fiction, 1965
"Shirley Ann Grau is one of those rare writers who create a world, draw the reader into it, and make him somehow happy there, no matter what goes on....One comes to the novel's end with a sense of loss, and leaves that world with reluctance." (Newsweek)

I've read poorly written books that I continued reading because I had developed an attachment to the characters; I wanted to know what would happen to them. With this book, I did not feel a strong attachment to any of the characters. Frankly it was a task for me to finish it . I'm glad I did finish it, though, because the summation in the last few chapters was excellent. It is not that it was one of those happily ever after endings, but rather a realistic, satisfying conclusion.
Beautifully written, but
