Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty
5.0
I love this passage: "Her nose in the banana skin as in the cup of a lily, she watched the Delta. The land was perfectly flat and level but it shimmered like the wing of a lighted dragongly. It seemed strummed, as though it were an instrument and something had touched it.
--Eudora Welty
I have never read a more beautiful description of the Mississippi Delta. Welty has the most lovely turn of language. Even a thank you note in her hands is a thing of incredible beauty and awe.
Laura McRaven, a nine-year-old girl, is visiting her dead mother's family in the Mississippi Delta to attend Cousin Dabney's wedding. The book is a portrait of a Southern family in the 1920s. The plot is simple: the Fairchild family gathers for the wedding, and everyone brings their dreams, memories, grudges,and scandals.
