Description
The Wedding by Dorothy West is a powerful exploration of identity, community and love in 1950s America. Set against the backdrop of Martha's Vineyard, this novel tells the story of Shelby Coles' wedding to Mead Wyler, a white jazz musician from New York. As the prominent Coles family gathers for the celebration, tensions rise over the changing face of their insular community. The Wedding is not just one story, but five generations of an extraordinary American family, woven together by the delicate interweaving of past and present. This monumental history offers a unique insight into issues of race, prejudice and identity. Through its wise and heartfelt portrayal, Dorothy West's crowning achievement shines as a testament to the power of love in overcoming adversity.
