Out of the Easy is a 2013 novel by Ruta Sepetys. It is her second published novel. It features Josie Moraine, a young woman in the 1950s French Quarter of New Orleans who struggles to escape her family and become the author of her own destiny. The novel became a New York Times bestseller and was chosen as an Editor’s Choice in the New York Times on February 15, 2013.
Sepetys has said that Out of the Easy was born from her discovery of the biography The Last Madam: A Life in the New Orleans Underworld and her interest in post-war America, which, contrary to her expectations, was full of “suffering and secrets.” She also attributes her interest in New Orleans to a gift of vintage opera glasses, which still had the old owner’s name engraved, enabling her to find out who the original owner was. As with all her books, Sepetys undertook several research trips, which lead her to discover news articles about “tourists who met an untimely end”; she later worked this into the novel.
