A Wedding in December
by Anita Shreve
The beginning of this book was a little annoying to me because it read like a sappy chick flick movie. "Nora" and "Harrison"? All I could see was Diane Keaton and Richard Gere, in this very austere setting. Having said that, I suppose it could be looked at in another way, that the author was very good at painting a picture. The story goes that a group of old friends from a private east coast high school gather together to celebrate the wedding of two of their own. Some of them have kept in better touch than others, but most of them have some sort of unsettled issues that they work through over the course of the weekend. One of the friends, Agnes, is a budding writer herself, and spends her free time writing a historical novel. The novel is included as part of this book, and I actually found it more interesting than the main plot. There is a lot of hype around Anita Shreve, and since this is not one of her better-known works, I will read another - but I would not recommend this one.
