The people of Mount Salus, Mississippi always felt good about Judge
McKelva. 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.
