The Bride of the Innisfallen

The Bride of the Innisfallen, collection of short stories by Eudora Welty, published in 1955. Welty broke from her usual style for this fourth volume of stories, dedicated to British writer Elizabeth Bowen. The seven stories, focused largely on female characters, elaborate upon tenuous relationships of the heart in a difficult world and upon the importance of place; they share a more experimental, allusive style than the rest of her work.
