Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)
Genre: fiction
Review: This book has a whimsical feel right from the beginning. From before the beginning, actually: from the seating chart at the front. That whimsy quickly gets deep, though, as we meet the people around the table. The bride and groom, their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other assorted friends and relations who have gathered to celebrate the nuptials scheduled for the following day, all have their own dramas going on. In that way, this reads more like a series of intersecting short stories, as each individual or small group of characters is really pursuing their own storyline. Infidelities are revealed, mortality is contemplated, and both love and passion flower. So, no, this is not a whimsical story, but it is a good one, and full of feeling.
