One Writer's Beginnings by Eudora Welty

4.0

---

Eudora Welty's parents were lovely people, and despite tragedies and challenges provided a perfect home that nurtured Welty gently into the world. The writing is beautiful and evocative of the 1900's, and of growing up in Jackson, Mississippi. Even though it is a very short book for an autobiography, I highly recommend it, not only for the writing, but as an example of a beautifully constructed autobiography of brief dimensions.
