A Wedding in December" by Anita Shreve brings together seven former classmates for the wedding of two of their number.Throughout the course of two days,passions are rekindled,old animosities inflamed and some interesting secrets explored and divulged.It is a beautifully narrated tale,exquisitely perceptive and elegant.
Shreve manages always to be sentimental and poignant without mawkishness.I think she is a superb story-teller.
