Author Name
Desmond Astley-Cooper (Author)
Desmond began his career as a journalist but has spent most of it working in banking & finance, including a long period living in Bahrain during the 1980’s and 1990’s. He studied Arabic and Persian Literature at St Peter’s College, Oxford. His vivid accounts of the landscape of Mount Lebanon in his debut novel "In the Time of the Mulberry" were inspired by the various hiking expeditions he has made across the country over the years and a fascination with discovering its remote corners first-hand. To research his second novel "In the Time of Confusion," he travelled to New Orleans and Lake Charles where he came across a series of taped interviews with first and second generation Syrian migrants who had settled in the area at the beginning of the 20th Century.

The year is 1884 and Rose, recently arrived from Mount Lebanon, is selling household goods door-to-door on the "Great Plains" of America in the company of another peddler called Hanna. With the season nearly over, they decide to head south to New Orleans where Rose goes into business with Evangeline, her Creole landlady, supplying outfits to the city's show girls.

She grows fond of Evangeline’s nephew, Henri, and marries him in an informal ceremony after being propositioned by a wealthy gentleman of the city called Mr. de Burgh.

As her business begins to prosper, Rose tries to get her friend Maryam to join her from Mount Lebanon but instead she sends her daughter, Li'l Rose. For eight years all goes well until a couple of unexpected events occur two years apart: first Mr.

de Burgh makes a pass at Li’l Rose, now an attractive young woman, thereby infuriating Rose; then Henri dies unexpectedly of yellow fever, leaving her listless and broken-hearted. .
