On the island of Martha's Vineyard, a special community has flourished since the turn of the century, an exclusive summer colony of affluent vacationers. A proud, insular, nearly unassailable group, it is made up of the best and the brightest of Ameroca's black middle class. A world of doctors and minsters and lawyers and college presidents, it represents a side of the black experience known by too few, a side that is seldom considered. It is a world Dorothy West knows well, for it is her world, and in* The Wedding* she brings it to wonderful life.

Almost entirely a genealogy, with a tiny bit of plot thrown in for justification. And that plot, by the way, was completely implausible.
