Phoebe Stone checks into a grand Rhode Island hotel in her best dress and worst shoes, and is immediately taken for one of the wedding guests she has nothing to do with.
She is the only person at the Cornwall Inn who is not there for the ceremony, which is precisely the problem for Lila, a bride who has planned for every contingency except a sad stranger in the lobby. The two women collide, then begin to talk, and the novel turns their mutual inconvenience into an unlikely friendship. It is dry and observant about comedy and entirely serious about divorce, family and what comes next.
Practical notes for readers:
• A single hotel setting across one crowded wedding week
• Two central women whose plans fall apart in opposite directions
• Comic surface over a frank treatment of grief and separation
• A book club selection and a Goodreads Choice Award winner for fiction
Recommended for readers of warm, witty contemporary fiction, The Wedding People is stocked at Boipoka.
