A darkly funny, tender novel about a woman at rock bottom who finds unexpected connection during a wedding weekend in Newport.
“Sparkling . . .” — Publishers Weekly
“Witty dialogue” — Library Journal
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives alone at the Cornwall Inn, where she is immediately mistaken for one of the wedding guests. She is not there for the wedding at all, but for a very different reason. As the weekend unfolds, Phoebe becomes entangled with the bride and the wedding crowd in ways none of them expected.
By turns sharp, funny, and deeply humane, The Wedding People explores grief, loneliness, friendship, and the strange ways life can change course when we least expect it. It has been praised for its emotional depth, memorable characters, and its balance of humor and heartbreak.
