A Louisiana Gentleman
Rosary Hartel O'neill
Property is a contemporary romantic comedy set in a Garden District mansion in New Orleans.
Rooster Dubonnet, a young artist suffering from a terminal disease, is dazzled by love.
Raised by an imperious society-driven mother, he has fallen in love with a New-age nurse.
Set during Mardi Gras--when a whole tradition of fun, revelry and prestige seizes the city--Rooster is caught between his dedication to his family's past (and "property") and his own very different future.
| Character |
|---|
| Bunky Dubonnet Legere Early Twenties, Irene’s grandson. He dresses like a rebel. His consuming interest is singing the blues. When he drinks, his personality changes into exaggerated gaiety and hair-trigger rage. |
| Oozie Ransom Twenty-five to fifty. Companion to Irene. Oozie is always fixing herself - freshening her lipstick, puffing her hair, buffing her rings. |
| Monica Falcon Late twenties. A nurse, attractive, with a passion for things of the spirit. He gentleness is matched by delicate features: fine skin, graceful hands, hair, which tumbles around her face. |
| Irene Soniat Dubonnet Fifties. A landowner, she redefines the word style - in designer dresses, and flawless makeup. Irene is one of those striking women - nerves of steel, iron lungs, sharp as a tack - who has nothing to do but protect her grown children, and she watches them like a dog guards her bone. |
