In the early nineteenth century Tchula Homa, one of the last of the Chickasaw Indian chiefs, struggles against time to save his people's ancient way of life from the corruption and decay consuming it. At midcentury Sylvester Woodson, a Candide-like stable boy in love with his master's octoroon mistress, comes to a fitful awareness of the raging Civil War and the world beyond the plantation. A century later Woodlaw Corelli, a descendant of Sylvester's owner, an artist haunted by a disintegrating marriage and the disintegrating landscape of his childhood, struggles for order in a world of chaos and contradiction.
A Story of Deep Delight sweeps through three eras of shattering change that have formed the American South, weaving imagination and history into an irresistibly engrossing tapestry of heartbreak, triumph, love, and betrayal.
