In 1853, a man named Benito Juárez disembarks at the fetid port of New Orleans. Later, in 1858, he is to become the first indigenous president of Mexico, but now he is anonymous. He falls in love with the music and food, but unavoidable, too, is the trade in human beings. A magnificent work of speculative history and a love letter to New Orleans.
