The Vampire Lestat
Publisher: Ballantine Books Fiction A troubled young man named Lestat lives with, mother, father, and two older brothers in pre-revolutionary France. He has a special bond with his mother, Gabrielle. They are kindred spirits. Lestat runs off to Paris with his new best friend, Nicki. Nicki is an extremely talented violinist, but was forbidden by his father to pursue it as a career.
