New Cardiff by Charles Webb
2.0
2 STARS
"Colin escapes to the New World to heal himself when Vera, to whom he'd been getting married, sends him an invitation to her wedding to someone else. In New Cardiff he finds a simplicity that seduces and transforms him. When Vera arrives to explain it was all a joke, he's a very different Colin." (From Amazon)
I was interested in reading this novel because it was written by the author of [b:The Graduate|71047|The Graduate|Charles Webb|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403023709s/71047.jpg|1630939] and stars Colin Firth and Minnie Driver! Unfortunately, I did not care for the book as it was more dull than funny.
