Biography:
"Cousin Louisa" is the woman at the McCaslin-Edmonds place who takes care of Lucius' siblings when his parents go to Bay St. Louis (48). She is probably Zack Edmonds' wife, although the events in the novel take place about half a decade after Zack's unnamed wife dies in childbirth in Go Down, Moses. Louisa may be Zack's sister, but since this sister is not mentioned elsewhere we assume Zack's wife and cousin Louisa are the same character. This novel also refers to "women and children" in describing who lives with Zack and his father, but only Louisa is particularized (25).
