Book - The Wedding People

It's a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the luxurious Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, with no luggage and all alone. In the hotel lobby, everyone assumes she's one of the guests for the wedding taking place on site. Yet, Phoebe is the only person at the hotel who isn't there for this grand celebration.

Phoebe came here because she's dreamed of staying at this place for years. She imagined enjoying oysters and sailing trips at sunset with her husband… but now she's alone, at the lowest point in her life, and determined to treat herself to one last luxurious getaway, just for her.

Meanwhile, the bride-to-be has thought of every detail and anticipated every possible catastrophe for this perfect weekend, except one thing: Phoebe and the plan she has in mind. Which makes the bond that forms between the two women, who eventually confide in each other, all the more surprising.

Both incredibly funny and deeply moving, The Wedding People by Alison Espach is a sensitive novel about the unexpected paths life can take, the detours one never imagined, and the encounters that can sometimes change everything.
