In silky, sensual prose, Maggie Shipstead lays bare the pretensions of a New England society with a wit and sophistication that heralds the début of an exciting new literary voice. 59-year-old patriarch Winn Van Meter is preparing to marry off his daughter Daphne. Daphne is pleased to be settling down with a fine match, even though she's heavily pregnant at her own wedding. Her sister Livia on the other hand has foolishly allowed her heart to be broken by Teddy Fenn, the son of her father's oldest social rival. Winn's wife Biddy has arranged the wedding with military precision. Winn loves her, but his unrequited yearning for bridesmaid, Agatha, comes to boiling point prompting him to ask questions about his life: Did he marry the right woman? And did he make the most of his youth? (Large Print Edition)
