Set in Mobile, Alabama, Gulf Stream , the 1930 novel by Marie Stanley (Marie Layet Sheip), is an important part of Alabama’s literary heritage. A stunning first person performance by a gifted woman novelist, it is the work of Alabama social history, of Alabama women’s writing, of the development of realistic Alabama fiction, and most telling, a work about the complexities of race.
It is at once the story of a “white” mixed-race woman in a “black” world and the story of a “black” mixed-race woman seeking forbidden love in a “white” world.
