It is my dearest wish, that after so long apart, I am able to bring this family together for my wedding day. This house. This family. Mary has raised a family in this house. Watched her children play and laugh and bicker in this house. Today she is getting married in this house, with all her family in attendance. The wedding celebrations have brought fractured family together for the first time in years: there's Phoebe and her husband Michael, children in tow. The young and sensitive Rosie, with her new partner. Irene, Mary's ex-mother-in-law. Even Emma, Mary's eldest, is back for the wedding - despite being at odds with everyone else. Set over the course of an English summer's day but punctuated with memories from the past forty years of love and loss, hope and joy, heartbreak and grief, this is the story of a family. Told by a chorus of characters, it is an exploration of the small moments that bring us to where we are, the changes that are brought about by time, and what, despite everything, stays the same.

A wonderful dysfunctional family drama set over the period of one day, a wedding, with flashbacks to the past. Well written, insightful and very engaging with some fantastic, realistic characters. I loved it!

This was wonderful!

The story of a wedding day, but also the story of a family, their trials, tribulations and successes.

The Stranding, the author‘s debut, was a fantastic book but I think I loved this even more.

Fabulous.

Out 11th May in the UK.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
