Reviews
Critically acclaimed for her short stories, the author here presents a novel of a September wedding in Mississippi in the 20's, at Shellmound, homeplace of the Fairchilds, determinedly independent within their close-woven family pattern...Motherless, nine year old Laura McRaven, visits her mother's family as the preparations for Dabney's wedding rush to their finals. Believing herself an outsider, Laura tries hard to become part of the intimate, intricate family existence. There are the old aunts, living in their past loves and hates; Dabney's father, Battle, essence of Fairchild; his wife Ellen, pregnant once again, and still aware of her Virginia origins; Aunt Tempe, the manager, sure that without her the wedding would not be up to family standards. There are the flurried excitements of the last moments before the ceremony, the complex reactions of adults and children, the reception, and Dabney and Troy's return from their honeymoon. A remembrance of customs and personalities, the feel of old roots dying and new roots going down, in lucid yet tortuous prose,- this is quality, rather than quality, merchandise.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • DELTA WEDDING

    Welty can truly only be understood by fellow Southerners. The sense of time and place in this novel is superb, but most likely lost on anyone who didn't grow up in the South. Welty's later works are somewhat more universal and has a wider appeal. Miss Welty is verbose at times but it is necessary to set the scene. She is quite capable of lean fiction as evidenced by some of her short stories. Often writers need to be read in chronological order of book written, to really understand their beginnings and flowering of their craft. I would recommend this novel to anyone who wants to know what it is like to grow up in this time period and place.

  • Old Fashioned Acceptance

    Some forget what really large and extended families are like; loud, chaotic, youngsters, teens, older. Family stories and houses. Here is a refreshing dip in memories and before your time old fashioned horse and buggy and a few cars from 1920's.

    Interesting view of the South but hard to get into, wordy and somewhat dull. My book group read it and none of us really liked it.
