The Wedding People By Alison Espach
A tale about one unexpected wedding guest and the unexpected friends who help her start again that is energizing and unusually smart.
On a lovely day in Newport, Rhode Island, Phoebe Stone shows up at the opulent Cornwall Inn by herself, without a purse, with a green dress and gold heels. Everyone in the lobby instantly thinks she’s one of the wedding guests, but in reality, she’s the only one at the Cornwall who isn’t there for the big event. After years of dreaming of coming here to shuck oysters and sail sunsets with her husband, Phoebe is finally here without him, at rock bottom, and resolved to treat herself to one final delicious indulgence. With the exception of, well, Phoebe and Phoebe’s plan, the bride has planned for every detail and every catastrophe that could occur over the weekend, which makes it all the more shocking when the two ladies are unable to resist confiding in one another.
The Wedding People by Alison Espach, which alternates between being ludicrously comic and heartbreakingly sympathetic, is ultimately a profoundly complex and poignant examination of the convoluted routes we can take to destinations we never would have thought of—and the unexpected meetings it occasionally takes to reroute us.
