Delta Wedding

Here is a vivid and charming portrait of a large Southern family, the Fairchilds, living on their plantation in the Mississippi delta land. The year is 1923. A young relative, Laura McRaven, is visiting and is soon thrust into the midst of numerous cousins, uncles, aunts, and great-aunts as they prepare for the marriage of Dabney, the prettiest of the Fairchild girls. The story is exquisitely woven from ordinary events of family life, leading up to a perfect moment in time.
