The basis for the classic film starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid
Bergman, Saratoga Trunk is Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edna Ferber's
enthralling saga of love, greed, and power set in New Orleans and
Saratoga during the late nineteenth century.
Saratoga Trunk unfolds the story of Clio Dulaine, an ambitious Creole
beauty who more than meets her match in Clint Maroon, a handsome Texan
with a head for business--and an eye for beautiful young women. Together
they do battle with Southern gentry and Eastern society, but in their
obsession to acquire all they've ever wanted, they fail to realize they
already have all they'll ever need--each other.
A novel by one of the twentieth century's most accomplished and admired
writers, Saratoga Trunk is a lively tale of ambition and love that
celebrates the triumph of outsiders against the powerful and corrupt.
