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. Review: They Don't Write Them Like This Anymore - I believe Edna Ferber is one of the finest writers of the 20th century. When you think of the books she has written that have been made into superb movies: Giant; Saratoga Trunk; So Big; Showboat that still endure, reading her written word is sheer pleasure. I adored this book. Beautifully written, evocative, and frank; I grew up in New Orleans where the first half takes place and Ferber so perfectly captured the beauty, essence and spirit of New Orleans, as though the Crescent City was transported onto the pages of the book. It tells the story of Clio Dulaine, the illegitimate daughter of a placee and her wealthy planter lover, an arrangement made in the cities history between beautiful quadroon women and white men considered the cream of society. It is also a strong social statement of the times without being woke, preachy or pendantic. The dialogue is wonderful, and the chemistry between Ciio and Clint Maroon perfect. Added to this wonderful gumbo are the characters of Angelique and Cupidon. Highly recommended. Review: Saratoga Trunk Gets 3.5 Stars From Me - First off, there were many small errors in this Kindle version. I didn't find them too annoying as they were easy to figure out and repetitive: i.e. lidte for little Interesting how the novel starts off in the present and then without a break, it dives right into Clio Dulaine's past. Same thing at the end. Ferber has a powerfully descriptive style of writing, enumerating all the details of food, dress and architecture extremely well. Perhaps a shade anachronistic, with mentions of well known early 20th century millionaires and other less well known society names. Sadly, I believe Ferber has been overlooked by modern day readers, even though she is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. The plot is not profound in any way, but the characterizations are meticulous and enjoyable. I was not offended in the least by various racial attributions or language which I viewed in the context of the era the novel was created in. I enjoyed Saratoga Trunk and am interested in reading some of Ferber's other works, which I know from their film adaptations, such as Showboat, Cimmaron and Giant. I will certainly watch the movie version of Saratoga Trunk starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. If you like American tales of New Orleans, brawny Texans, high society in the early 1900's and satire, I think you like this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #564,492 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,282 in Multigenerational Fiction (Books) #1,349 in Family Saga Fiction #1,777 in Southern Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 333 Reviews | ## Images ![Saratoga Trunk: A Novel (Perennial Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91m-bKt9w5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They Don't Write Them Like This Anymore *by L***B on September 1, 2022* I believe Edna Ferber is one of the finest writers of the 20th century.

You would think since this is not a FREE book that they could have done a better job of editing. Obviously done with an OCR reader, the "tl" combination consistently shows up at "d". A global search could have corrected most of these! I don't know why I'm always surprised at the greed evident in the world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/46807069-saratoga-trunk-a-novel-perennial-classics](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/46807069-saratoga-trunk-a-novel-perennial-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
