What I Liked
Eudora Welty brings depth and characterization to her African-American characters, while many other authors of this time period used their black characters as a way to reflect something about their white characters.

I appreciated the realistic family structure in Delta Wedding and the significance of each member of the family, blood relative or not.

What I Didn't Like
It is a struggle to find a plot structure within Delta Wedding. It's slow-paced and light-hearted. While Eudora Welty can write beautiful words, I was never able to get into the story and could barely make it through to the end.
