A review by lewfode
Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty
Did not finish book.
2.0
Eudora Welty is supposed to be one of 20th Century America's great defining authors, but honestly, I just couldn't stick with this book. Although the writing was beautiful, after two chapters, nothing of consequence had taken place. The jacket referred to "drama upon drama, revelation upon revelation", but I read nothing that made me think this was going to happen.
Furthermore, the highly rated reviews from other readers mostly referred to their experiences as children. I know enough about growing up as a child in a southern family that I don't need a blow by blow description of summer in the south; I would prefer a book with a plot. Again, although the descriptions were almost perfectly reminiscent of summer in a sleepy southern locale, this book just wasn't for me.
