A Harlem Wedding: A Novel

by Tiffany L. Warren

From The Unexpected Diva author Tiffany Warren—a dishy and dramatic novel of the Harlem Renaissance and its most famous Black debutante, Yolande Du Bois, daughter of W.E.B. Du Bois, whose spectacular wedding to poet Countee Cullen was the society event of the year...even though the bride and groom were not-so-secretly in love with other people.

A century ago, Harlem’s glittering social scene had a single Yolande Du Bois, the only child of N.A.A.C.P. icon W.E.B. Du Bois. Yolande was bold, vivacious, and beloved of every gossip columnist. A true daddy’s girl, Yolande followed her father’s advice on from where she went to college (Fisk—Papa’s alma mater) to which sorority she joined (Delta Sigma Theta). But in matters of the heart, Yolande and her father did not agree. Dr. Du Bois himself curated a string of handsome suitors from the “Talented Tenth” for her, but Yolande’s true love was jazz musician Jimmie Lunceford, son of a working-class family from far-off Denver, Colorado. Their romance was an open secret, and more than a little scandalous.

Despite it all, Yolande wound up marrying her father’s famed poet Countee Cullen. Their lavish uptown wedding was the hottest social ticket of 1928. With three thousand attendees, sixteen bridesmaids, and Langston Hughes as a groomsman, it was truly a sight to behold.

But, immediately after the wedding, Yolande’s carefully constructed fairy tale begins to crumble. Torn between the expectations of her father and society and her heart’s true desire, Yolande is forced to decide whether she must leave Harlem to create a more authentic life on her own terms.

A Harlem Wedding is a heady read about love, notoriety, Black excellence, deception, and the très chic lifestyles of the Black elite, from speakeasies of Harlem and the green fields of Fisk University, all the way to Le Grand Duc in Paris.

A Harlem Wedding details the love life of Yolande DuBois, daughter of civil rights icon WEB DuBois. Warren does a great job humanizing and detailing Yolande’s life from teenage years to adulthood, making her relatable. I feel like the book would’ve benefited for multiple POVs or substantially more detail around her engagement and marriage to Countee Cullen. The wedding felt rushed, as the book is entitled after that life altering event. I ultimately enjoyed her story, as it’s largely unknown, but the title should definitely reflect the totality of the book.

I have not found a book by Tiffany L. Warren that I didn’t love. A Harlem Wedding keeps the tradition alive.

Prior to reading this story I had no real knowledge of Yolande Du Bois. With expert storytelling the author made me feel as though I knew her personally. I felt sad for Yolande and the burden placed on her by her father to marry a man that was suitable for him despite her heart’s desire to marry another man. This story kept me locked in from start to finish. Whether you are a fan of historical fiction or not, this book is a must read.

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the opportunity to read this ARC.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Harlem Wedding by Tiffany L. Warren – A Rich, Messy, and Unforgettable Story

Historical fiction has truly become one of my favorite genres, and A Harlem Wedding has only deepened my love for it. This was my first book by Tiffany L. Warren, and it definitely will not be my last!

This novel follows Yolande Du Bois, the daughter of the legendary W.E.B. Du Bois, and what unfolds is a story that is equal parts glamorous, complicated, messy, and absolutely juicy. Warren does an incredible job bringing the Harlem Renaissance to life the culture, the politics, the tension within the Black elite, and the weight of expectations placed on a young woman growing up in the shadow of greatness.

Yolande’s story felt intimate and layered. Being the daughter of such a towering historical figure comes with privilege, but also immense pressure. The exploration of love, marriage, social status, family expectations, and personal identity was handled with depth and emotional honesty. The drama was real, the stakes felt high, and I found myself completely invested in every decision she made even when I wanted to shake her!

What I loved most was how the book blended historical detail with compelling storytelling. The setting of 1920s Harlem felt vibrant and alive, making the world of the novel immersive and authentic. It wasn’t just a romance it was a powerful look at class, reputation, and the sacrifices people make to protect their legacy.

So good. So messy. So rich in history and emotion.

If you love historical fiction with drama, complex characters, and a deep dive into the Harlem Renaissance era, A Harlem Wedding is a must-read. Five stars without hesitation!

[Love BookReviewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I took my time reading this book because I wanted to savor every detail about Yolande Du Bois who I previously had no knowledge of. After reading, I immediately went to the internet to search a lot of the characters mentioned in the book. There’s just something about the Harlem Renaissance era that pulls me in as it is rich with so much profound history, but also enough mess to let us know how human these individuals were.

Yolande walked in the shadow of her father and needed his approval in everything because he was such an authoritarian father, which had an impact on all of her decisions even into adulthood. It was as if she was living for him and not for herself, which ultimately shaped the direction of her life. I just wanted her to get a happy ending!

The book is slow paced and has some repetition that may make readers feel like the story is being dragged; however, it gave me depth and connection to these characters.

The wedding does take place around 80% in, so that is possibly the only con (along with the slow pacing).

I loved some characters, couldn’t stand some others, but overall this was a great read and kept my attention!

Thanks Netgalley for this ARC!

Harlem Wedding was an overall decent read; however, the title is somewhat misleading, as the wedding itself does not occur until nearly 80% of the book has passed. While the novel is centered on Yolande Du Bois, the daughter of W. E. B. Du Bois, much of the narrative focuses on her relationship with Jimmy Lunceford, which occupies the majority of the story. As a result, the book places greater emphasis on this romantic relationship than on the anticipated wedding suggested by the title.

[INW · Rating 2 out of 5]

Thanks, Netgalley for the advanced readers copy. Unfortunately it's wasn't a great read for me.
While the Harlem Renaissance is a period ripe with drama and complexity, Tiffany L. Warren’s A Harlem Wedding unfortunately fails to capture the spark. Despite its title, the book is less about a wedding and more a long, drawn out exploration of a "spoiled" young woman struggling under the shadow of her famous father. The book was ultimately disappointing, feeling both overly fictionalized and strangely hollow.
The most glaring issue with the novel is its structure. The story spends nearly 50 chapters on a romance with Jimmy "Piggy" Lunceford that eventually fizzles out, leaving the reader feeling like their time was wasted. The main event, the relationship with Countee Cullen, could have been condensed into a fraction of the book. In fact, the story would have been far more effective if it had been streamlined into a few tight chapters.
While the novel attempts to humanize Yolande DuBois, she often comes across as an uninteresting protagonist, a "rich girl" of the Renaissance whose search for purpose feels stagnant. The depiction of W.E.B. DuBois as a cold, distant figure focused solely on the "Talented Tenth" adds some tension, but it isn't enough to save the narrative. By the time the wedding finally arrives at the very end of the book, it feels rushed and detached. Because the details were negotiated between her father and her hubby to be, Yolande is a bystander in her own story. This passivity, combined with an overly fictionalized approach that strips the era of its organic excitement, makes the book feel flat and uninteresting.
A Harlem Wedding did not live up to the hype for me. It is a 67 chapter book that could have easily been a 5 chapter novella. If you are looking for a deep dive into the historical nuances of the DuBois family you may find this version too surface level and plodding to be truly engaging.

[Robin Pendleton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Living life as the sole surviving offspring of the infamous W.E.B. Du Bois was an abundant blessing materially, while resonating as a tumultuous existence for Yolande Du Bois. In “A Harlem Wedding,” author Tiffany L. Warren regales with the antics of a rebellious daughter, while exploring the costs of being in the spotlight, even when trying to escape it. What Yolande lacked in the stereotypical belle of the ball category was overcome by her father’s clout. This book afforded an intimate diary of a young woman in early 20th century Harlem whose rite of passage included a longing to find favor with her own father. Average wouldn’t do in the eyes of the man who fathered the Talented Tenth ideology; focusing social activism on the top ten percent of intellectual Blacks.

The complexity of the father-daughter dynamics was matched only by the intensity of the revolt to expectations Yolande found in the arms of young jazz and church musician, Jimmie Lunceford. Regrettably, consummation of their love wasn’t enough to quelch the fear of her father’s rejection. Their passionate and desperate attempts to prove that love could conquer all elevated the pacing of this novel. It was easy to root for them, even when truth said otherwise.

Yolande’s marriage to Countee Cullen, a poet extraordinaire, and one of the Harlem Renaissance’s “Talented Tenth,” was more of a coup than an authentic friends to lovers romance. “A Harlem Wedding” resonates across time. Yolande and Countee learned that sacrificing being in love with someone else to fulfill legacy only leads to further deceit. Tiffany L. Warren rescued Yolande Du Bois from the shadows, gave her voice, and introduced her in an exciting, refreshing and memorable way.

Thank you, William Morrow, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Harlem’s glittering social scene, in the 20s and 30s, had many stars, but only one princess: Yolande Du Bois. This captivating book brings Yolande’s remarkable story to vivid life, immersing readers in the glamour, ambition, and complications of the Harlem Renaissance.

The author paints Yolande as a dazzling figure—witty, bold, and fiercely devoted to her legendary father, W.E.B. Du Bois. Yet, beneath the surface, we see a young woman caught between the weighty expectations of family and society and the yearnings of her own heart. The tension between Yolande’s duty and desire is rendered with nuance and empathy, making her journey feel as urgent and relatable today as it was a century ago.

The book excels at conjuring the era’s electric atmosphere, from the hush of elite parlors to the exuberance of jazz-filled nights. The depiction of Yolande’s relationships—especially her secret romance with Jimmie Lunceford and her headline-making marriage to Countee Cullen—provides both high drama and genuine emotional depth. The wedding scene, with its parade of Harlem’s luminaries and the shadow of unspoken secrets, is especially unforgettable.

But what elevates this narrative is its exploration of identity, autonomy, and the courage to defy convention. As Yolande faces the unraveling of her fairy-tale life, readers are left breathless, rooting for her to claim her own destiny. This is biography at its best: intimate, illuminating, and impossible to put down. It’s a tribute to a woman who lived—and loved—on her own terms, and to the vibrant world that shaped her. It took me through all of the emotions, ultimately ending in sadness. Her dream of real love was cut short by her insecurities and her need to please her father. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you, Tiffany L. Warren, William Morrow Paperbacks, and NetGalley for this wonderful ARC.

I had never read one of Tiffany Warren’s books before reading “A Harlem Wedding,” but since I have a fascination for the 1920’s in general and the Harlem Renaissance in particular, I decided to give this book a try. I’m so glad that I did.

The novel’s first person protagonist is Yolande Du Bois, the only child of W.E.B. Du Bois. It focuses on her coming of age as the daughter of a prominent Black leader during the cultural flourishing of the Harlem Renaissance and includes cameo appearances by such luminaries of the time as Langston Hughes, Nella Larson, Zora Neale Hurston and Jessie Fauset.

The book starts with Yolande’s graduation from high school in Brooklyn, her time as an undergraduate at Fisk University and her post graduate work at Columbia. It also focuses on both her love life and her social achievements, including her relationship with her long time love, jazz musician Jimmie Lunceford; her brief marriage to Countee Cullen; her leadership roles in multiple collegiate organizations, and her years as a teacher at a school in Baltimore. The characterizations are nuanced and multi-faceted, while the sparkling dialog creates an additional dimension to the vivid characterizations. The author has the gift of bringing both the characters and the time and place to life in such a way that the reader lives Yolande’s life alongside her.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Harlem Renaissance and loves well-researched and well-crafted historical fiction. Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for providing me an ARC of the book in exchange for my honest review.

[Shannaka · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really loved this book! Here are my thoughts and opinions…

Yolande rubbed me the wrong way at times because she seemed to be spoiled and entitled and oblivious to her poor decisions and how they led her to her current situation.

Yolande‘s father, W.E.B. DuBois, definitely gave controlling and “I’m going to live through my child“. It was totally unfair how he felt he had to manage Yolande’s life yet let his go off the rails. In a twisted thought process you could view it as him making sure Yolande’s life was blemish and error free because it was too late for him. It could’ve also been that he only had one living child so his contribution towards the Talented Tenth was fully on Yolande’s shoulders.

Yolande’s mom definitely should have spoken up more and picked a side. She gave me lukewarm and I don’t know how to feel about that.

Where was Jimmy’s parents?? I wish we knew more of his back story. I believe he had pure intentions with Yolande but once he settled (in my opinion) with Chrystal he should have stood on that decision and not toyed with the heartstrings of both her and Yolande.

Margaret was a real one.

Harold and Countee plotted on my girl from jump lol but Yolandae wasn’t easily swayed by the niceties and cute words. She stood on business about Jimmy and keeping Countee in the friend zone until she didn’t. 🙄

Miss Fauset knew better but she learned her lesson and moved accordingly. Sometimes cutting ties is the best decision no matter how it may hurt others.

Lastly, Brooklyn School for Girls can GTH!

Thank you Netgalley & William Morrow Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I was excited to read A Harlem Wedding by Tiffany L. Warren because I had read another historical fiction book that gave reference to WeB Dubois daughter Yolande and I was intrigued. I wanted to know more about the Yolande and Countee love saga.
I enjoy reading historical fiction books because they usually peak my research curiosity. This book gave me a glimpse into not only their lives but the lives of Jimmie Lunceford, Langston Hughes, Zora Neal Hurston and Jessie Fauset.

The arranged wedding of socialite Yolande DuBois to poet Countee Cullen was the event of the decade. It was an event that was published in magazines and talked about in barber shops and beauty salons. However the marriage was a farce. The book did not however give any of the salacious details just broad speculations on the demise of the marriage. I was more intrigued with the love story of Yolande and Jimmie Lunceford. They should have had the wedding of the decade. That was a love story that was derailed by WEB Dubois and his own self interests. His own desire to achieve what he believed was the legacy of the Negro race, the talented Tenth. Countee Cullen was just the vehicle and Jimmie Lunceford did not meet his expectations. His determination lead to his daughters unhappiness.

The friendship between Yolande and Countee was endearing and fun to read of their adventures in Harlem and in Paris. They were quite the party goers.

I enjoyed reading A Harlem Wedding. It was a fast read.

**A Harlem Wedding** is a glamorous and emotionally layered novel that brings the Harlem Renaissance to life through an unforgettable character: Yolande Du Bois. As the daughter of W.E.B. Du Bois, Yolande bears the weight of legacy, expectation, and public scrutiny, all while quietly yearning to follow her own heart.

Tiffany L. Warren excels at capturing the tension between love and duty. Yolande’s marriage to famed poet Countee Cullen is filled with spectacle and symbolism, yet the emotional core of the story lies in what happens after the wedding. As the fairy tale begins to unravel, Yolande must confront the true cost of authenticity. The novel thoughtfully explores themes of Black excellence, class, ambition, and personal freedom.

The setting is particularly striking, taking readers from Harlem’s vibrant social scene to Fisk University and the nightlife of Paris. Warren immerses her audience in a world filled with beauty, intellect, and contradictions. While the drama is more understated than explosive, the emotional stakes are undeniably real.

A compelling blend of history, romance, and self-discovery, **A Harlem Wedding** is an engaging read for fans of historical fiction centered on remarkable women and the choices that define their lives.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this novel. All opinions expressed are my own.

What an amazing story! I simply couldn't put it down!
Even though this was written in In Verse style a style I don't care for, this had my attention all the way through.
This delightful story had my heart from the very beginning. I didn't want to let go.
I was introduced to a character that I'd never heard of and had fun in getting to know her. I had no idea about this lady but her story is definitely interesting. This new to me author has done a wonderful job in keeping my interest all the way through.
Im still thinking about Yolande. Wow!
This lady has heart and stamina. At times I really felt sorry for her and other times I found myself rooting for her.
The places described in this story were so real that I felt like I had met Yolande in person. I think that is what I loved about this book.
The secondary characters were amazing too. I was excited that Fisk University was mentioned. I had read about this place before it has an interesting history as well.
This is a story that I will be thinking about for a long time to come. I really recommend this story because I think you'll appreciate it like I did.
I love good stories like this.
Thanks for the opportunity to read and review. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

[AshleeInPages · Rating 2 out of 5]

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. As difficult as it is to say this, I am not a fan of this book. It’s my first read by this author so I am not sure if this is her usual writing style. The lack of character growth for the characters overshadows the beauty that could have been the portrayal of the Harlem Renaissance. In thinking of all the characters, they are all the same from beginning to end. While I know a lot of research went into the writing of the story, it almost reads as a salacious story of a few well known names during the time. Also, the wedding is such a small part of the overall story that the title feels a little misleading.

The main character, Yolande, comes off as a spoiled brat that has been sheltered for far too long. I understood her behavior at the start of the book but as time went on, I was hoping there would be a shift of some kind but nothing happened. Even into adulthood, she remained spoiled, naive and searching for her Father’s approval by allowing him to control her life. It was a little disappointing that it wasn’t until the end of the story when we started to see a little character growth for Yolande.

This book starts off great but I feel like it falls flat and went on for too long. This story could have been condensed considerably.

[Kristi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the story of Yolande Du Bois, daughter of W.E.B. Du Bois. Until I read this book, I knew very little about either the father or his daughter. I feel that after reading this book, I have gained some understanding of their relationship.

From reading this book, I don't think it was easy being Yolane Du Bois. Her father seemed pretty strict, and Yolande wanted to live her life having more freedom from her father. Yolande rebelled when she could, and she did that was usually with Jimmie Lunceford, a jazz musician. Reading about Yolande and Jimmie's love for each other was hard because of her father and his views about Jimmie. Sadly, her father didn't want her to have love as much as he wanted the stature and everything that came with it. I felt sad for Yolande. I wish she could have led the life she wanted to instead of what her father demanded.

The author's writing style made this book easy to read. The chapters were short and flowed easily from one to the next, keeping my interest. With her descriptions, I felt like I was transported to 1920s Harlem and Nashville.

This is a great book for fans of historical fiction and American history. A book I highly recommend.

[Shanquelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Harlem Renaissance is electric, dramatic, and culturally rich but this story didn’t give me that. Despite the title, the wedding barely takes center stage and instead we spend the majority of the book in a drawn-out romance that ultimately goes nowhere.

The characterization of Yolande also presented challenges for me as a reader. While the novel attempts to humanize her and explore the pressures of being the daughter of an influential historical figure, she comes across as a spoiled brat who really has no growth. I guess this was true in her real life as I don’t really know much about her.

By the time the highly anticipated wedding finally occurs and Yolande Du Bois marries Countee Cullen, the moment feels rushed and wasn’t exciting at all really.

A fascinating historical premise but unfortunately, it didn’t deliver for me.

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a heartbreaking yet beautiful story that I am so glad I took the time to read. I confess, I didn't know any of these characters before picking up this book. The history, the setting, the story, it was all wonderful and will definitely stick with me long after.

This was so well done. A story about growing up, learning self-worth, growing, loving, loss, and so much more. It really is one that will make you want to look up all the characters and learn more about them and their lives.

This was so well done, if not, sad and melancholy as well, it really will be one you will be thinking about long after the story is told.

I really enjoyed A Harlem Wedding! Going into it, I expected a story centered on the "wedding of the century," but it turned out to be so much more than that. It’s really a coming-of-age story about a young woman trying to find her own way while living in the shadow of a giant.

Following Yolande Du Bois—the daughter of W.E.B. Du Bois—was fascinating. You really feel the pressure she’s under as the daughter of such a famous "noisemaker." The romance with Jimmie Lunceford was that classic "right person, wrong time" heartache, and it was frustrating but realistic to watch her father try to force her toward the "Talented Tenth" suitors. You can literally feel the struggle between Yolande and Jimmie as they navigate long-distance and her father standing in their way.

While the marriage to Countee Cullen is the big historical event, for me, the heart of the book was Yolande's personal journey. It felt like a love letter to her as she stepped into her own womanhood. Even though she didn’t always get the romantic ending she wanted, watching her find herself in the middle of all that legacy and expectation was the best part.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC.

This is the first book I’ve read by Tiffany Warren, and it won’t be the last. She skillfully describes the Harlem Renaissance and the Black elites of the time. Yolande Du Bois is a spirited, independent young woman learning how to balance self discovery and growth with yearning for her father’s approval (W.E.B. Du Bois). Even though there were times I wanted to scream at her, I was always rooting for her to have her wishes come true.

[Melaninbookishbae · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Harlem Wedding is the kind of story that looks beautiful on the outside but holds layers of complexity within—and Tiffany L. Warren handles that contrast effortlessly. Beneath the prestige, tradition, and polished appearances lies a narrative about love shaped by expectation rather than desire. The characters are flawed, relatable, and navigating choices that feel painfully real. This book doesn’t rush romance; it interrogates it—and yes, it is absolutely spilling tea along the way.

A woman who stayed the course despite legacy. Sensing a fainting spell coming on. (Appreciation to NetGalley for a Kindle ARC)

Written with heart and attention to detail and history, A HARLEM WEDDING is another literary triumph by Tiffany L. Warren.

I love how she is able to take us into the lives and layers of these individuals we THINK we know---only to discover that they are just as flawed and relatable as we hope to be.

Whether you know much about the Du Bois family or not, this story sweeps you up in its tale of love, family and embracing your own power.

Once again, Tiffany Warren has written a compelling page-turner. The story of Yulonde DuBois, told in Warren's own words, introduced me to someone I had never heard of before. I felt deep sympathy for Yulonde, who faithfully honored and cherished her father, only to experience heartbreak when she lost her one true love, Jimmy, and learned of her father's infidelity. I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to the author’s next work.
