Sobre este artículo
US: Anchor, 1996. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. In her final novel, Dorothy West offers an intimate glimpse into African Am erican middle class. Set on bucolic Martha's Vineyard in the 1950s, The Wed ding tells the story of life in the Oval, a proud, insular community made u p of the best and brightest of the East Coast's black bourgeoisie. Within t his inner circle of "blue-vein society," we witness the prominent Coles fam ily gather for the wedding of the loveliest daughter, Shelby, who could hav e chosen from "a whole area of eligible men of the right colors and the rig ht professions." Instead, she has fallen in love with and is about to be ma rried to Meade Wyler, a white jazz musician from New York. A shock wave bre aks over the Oval as its longtime members grapple with the changing face of its community. With elegant, luminous prose, Dorothy West crowns her literary career by illustrating one family's struggle to break the shackles of race and class.
