A homecoming shaped by grief and memory
Eudora Welty centers this novel on Laurel McKelva Hand’s return to the South as her father nears death. The journey moves from New Orleans to the small Mississippi town of Laurel’s childhood, where the family home becomes a space for confronting loss and reconsidering inherited memories. Laurel’s relationship with her young stepmother also frames the unsettled family circumstances surrounding her return. Grounded in a daughter’s encounter with her parents’ lives and her own past, the novel traces a personal reckoning rather than simply a return to familiar places.
