Book Reviews of The Wedding: A Novel
Book Review: A Beautiful "Wedding"
Summary: 5 Stars
A great final performance by one of the most imortant voices of the Harlem Renaissance, this is a quiet, beautiful little book full of a great deal of wisdom. I like how the book weaves in and out of generations of history, and it seems a far more mature work to me than "The Living." The writing is better, too -- far more fluid and graceful (though I do have to agree a bit that the dialogue is somewhat stilted). The book is also perhaps a tad formulaic, due to her subject matter, which concerns black and white integration. Still, this is a wonderful, unusual and uplifting book -- not just a find, but very likely also a masterpiece.
