Description
|
|
|
|
First appearing in The New Yorker in 1953, and later inspiring a Tony Award–winning Broadway production, The Ponder Heart is "a wonderful tragicomedy of good intentions in a durably sinful world" (New York Times), in which Miss Edna Earle Ponder tells how her uncle Daniel Ponder gave away their family fortune. It is paired in this handsome omnibus edition with the 1946 novel Delta Wedding, an exquisitely woven story of the affections and complexities of southern family life, centered on the Fairchild family's preparations for a wedding at their Mississippi plantation in 1923, as observed by nine-year-old cousin Lauren McRaven.
