Silver Wedding by Maeve Binchy

5.0

---

Maeve Binchy has a way with words. She is a natural story teller. Here we have a seemingly ordinary family coming together to celebrate a Silver Wedding in "darkest" Pinner. Each character is introduced in a separate chapter and we find with each a fascinating story of how they view life and some of the life changing incidents they experienced. The writer scratches beneath the veneer of middle class respectability to find some dark secrets and hypocrisy.
