He was a quiet, solid reassuring figure, just as a judge should be. Then, ten years after his first wife's death, he marries the frivolous young Wanda Fay. No-one can understand his action, not least his beloved daughter, Laurel, who finds it hard to accept the new bride. It is only some years later, when circumstance brings her back to her childhood home, that Laurel stirs old memories and comes to understand the peculiarities of her upbringing, and the true relationship between her parents and herself.The Optimist's Daughter is a reflective, poignant novel of independence and love, for which Eudora Welty, one of America's gretest contemporary Southern writers, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: Helen Mcneil (Introduction by)Genre: FictionBook Series: Virago Modern ClassicsRelease Year: 1984 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
