Synopsis
This award-winning debut presents us with over two hundred and fifty years of love, loss, shame, secrets, sacrifice, joy, and biting humor in twenty-one beautifully crafted tales of young Delaney Robinson's family. Spanning Mary Kathleen's heroic struggles to save her husband and sons from Ireland's 19th century potato famine to young Delaney's own parents' lives in modern Alabama, the characters are vivid and extraordinarily familiar, resonating with readers long after the final page is turned.Delaney's People is perfect for fans of The Red Garden and Olive Kitteridge.It's an intricate story told through a unique, intimate medium in which each family member becomes as real as your own, narrating in his or her own voice.
