      About This Book

      This novel of a Mississippi family in the 1920s "presents the essence of the Deep South and does it with infinite finesse" (The Christian Science Monitor).

      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.
