A vivid and charming portrait of a large southern family, the Fairchilds, who live on a plantation in the Mississippi delta. The story is set in 1923 and is exquisitely woven from the ordinary events of family life, centred around the visit of a young relative, Laura McRaven, and the family's preparations for her cousin Dabney's wedding. The family envelop her in a tidal wave of warmth, teases and comfort. As the big day approaches, tensions inevitably rise to the surface and revelation leads to revelation. Little Laura finds a place of her own within her clannish, proud, quarrelsome and loving Southern family. Exquisitely told through the eyes of nine year old Laura who was on her first journey alone. In the words of the great writer Joyce Carol Oates this prose is 'incandescent and her vision supremely humane.' Good enough for us! 336 page paperback.
