Weymouth is pleased to present an afternoon with bestselling author, Frances Mayes, who will discuss her latest book. Under Magnolia: A Southern Memoir is Mayes’s coming-of-age in Georgia memoir. The story begins and ends in the present, with the middle of the book devoted to life in the deepest South in a small town. It’s an ode to the South as an intense and (then) isolated place and to the people who lived their passionate lives there. The book is populated with a cast of intrinsically southern characters—fatalistic, ribald, eccentric, and big-hearted.
