Items related to The Wedding (VMC)
Set on the Elysian isle of Martha's Vineyardm among an insular community of proud and prosperous black families, Dorothy West's first novel for nearly fifteen years centres around the marriage of Shelby Coles, daughter of the community's foremost family to a struggling white jazz musician.
Not just the story of one wedding, but of many, this thought-provoking and deeply interesting novel offers insights into issues of race, prejudice and identity while maintaining its firm belief in the compensatory power of love.

Review:
** 'Subtle, incisive and often moving. (SUNDAY TIMES ** 'West's narrative is deliciously manipulative.')
