Book excerpt: Things are going Walter Schmidt's way -- he loves his wife, he likes his job, and he's enjoying New Orleans in springtime -- and then one April morning in 1945 he catches his wife in bed with his best friend, a betrayal that sets in motion a series of events more dangerous and complicated than Walter could ever imagine. Set against a backdrop of a nation exhausted by war, in a decadent city that's been denied its butter, sugar, and Mardi Gras, My Bright Midnight is a novel about the complications of loyalties to country, to friends, and to those we love.
