A review by lindseyzank
Bayou Folk and a Night in Acadie by Kate Chopin

4.0

A beautiful collection of stories about Louisiana and her people. Chopin vividly sketches Creoles, African-Americans, and Acadians. Some of her characters appear in more than one story, giving some connection and logic to the string of stories that comprise "Bayou Folk." The dialect is spot on and the overall sentiment that the South is just not the same after the Civil War prevails. I cannot comment on "A Night in Acadie," because I did not read these selections.
