Our next meeting will be Friday, July 24,2020. Kim will be bringing books. Lisa will bring snacks if we actually meet in person. Otherwise she will bring virtual snacks.
This month we will be reading Delta Wedding, by Eudora Welty
336 pages - published in 1946
The library website tells us this:
“From one of the most treasured American
writers, winner of a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize, comes Delta
Wedding, a vivid and charming portrait of Southern life. Set in 1923, the story
is centered on the Fairchilds, a big and clamorous family, who live on a
plantation in the Mississippi delta. They are in the midst of planning their
daughter’s wedding when a nine-year-old relative, Laura McRaven, whose mother
has just died, comes to visit.
Drama leads to drama, revelation to revelation,
in a novel that is “nothing short of wonderful” (The New Yorker). The result is
a sometimes-riotous view of a Southern family, and the parentless child who
learns to become one of them.”
