Caspar Campbell and John-Pencey Delahunt's wedding promises to be the event of the summer, with four days of celebrations at a remote chateau in Provence. It's been over a decade since Caspar's three best friends from Oxford have been in one room. Surely they can set aside their differences for one weekend to celebrate his marriage?
But the reality is more complex. People pleaser Rosie is dreading a weekend with her ex, trustafarian Serge. Actor Daniel is battling demons and resentments. And Serge, desperate to reconnect with fiancee Isla, finds himself caught in a social media storm. As the cake is cut and champagne begins to flow, historic rivalries surface and secrets threaten to explode. A big wedding always throws up a few surprises - but this is going to be a weekend that nobody forgets.Praise for Francesca Hornak:'Warm and humane, funny and sad . . . absolute pleasure reading' Marian Keyes'One of the best books of the year' Hello!'Hilarious and touching' Daily Mail'Sharply observed' Glamour'Expertly captures the joys and the tensions of spending any time with those who know you best' i Paper'One of the best family dramas you'll ever read' BestFrancesca Hornak is a journalist and writer, whose work has appeared in newspapers and magazines including The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Marie Claire, Red, Grazia and Stylist.
