These two classic novels by the Pulitzer Prize winning author depict 20th century Southern life " with infinite finesse" ( The Christian Science Monitor ). Set in 1923, Eudora Welty's first novel, The Delta Wedding , centers around the Fairchild family and their preparations for a wedding at their Mississippi plantation. Drama leads to drama, and the result is a surprising portrait of a large and clamorous Southern family that is "nothing short of riotous" ( The New Yorker ). In The Ponder Heart , Daniel Ponder of Clay County, Mississippi, is giving away family heirlooms, a watch, and so far, at least one family business. His niece, Edna Earle, has a solution to save the family fortune from Daniel's mortifying philanthropy: As much as she loves her Uncle Daniel, she's decided to have him institutionalized in this "wonderful tragicomedy" ( The New York Times ).
