New Orleans is a city in Louisiana near the effluent of the Mississippi River. New Orleans is built between the river and Lake Pontchartrain, and it is protected from flooding by a series of levees. The city's society during the 1920s is strongly influenced by society and exclusive club membership. New Orleans is the central focus of much of the book.
